Iranian presidential hopeful Manouchehr Mottaki believes that strong public participation in the June 2013 election will foil "enemy" plots against the country.
Mottaki said active participation by the public will also help ease the West's pressure on Iran, the Fars News Agency reported.
He said Iran's biggest challenges are soaring inflation and unemployment.
Mottaki, who served under President Ahmadinejad from 2005 to 2010 said he has serious plans to address those challenges.
He said his main focus will be providing incentives for economic growth by supporting industrial output.
