Answer
Khatami withdrew from the 2009 presidential race on March 16. This withdrawal came on the heels of the Iranian government’s violent crackdown on protesters disputing the results of the previous day's election, in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had supposedly won by a wide margin. Khatami cited this climate of suppression and the “atmosphere of fear” in the country as the reasons behind his decision.
