Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gestures while waiting for the arrival of Oman’s leader, Qaboos bin Said, at the presidential offices in Tehran on August 4, 2009. The sultan of Oman became the first foreign leader to visit Iran since Iran’s June 12 controversial presidential vote. Meanwhile, Iran’s leading hardline newspaper hailed Ahmadinejad’s „divine“ presidency amid fierce political feuding that has raised speculation the opposition will boycott his swearing-in ceremony.
