Definitely a different tone to this debate -- more direct confrontation among the candidates.
Said Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, criticizes Rafsanjani. He asks what was Rafsanjani's policy? "They iussued two arrest warrants against him"
Jalili takes a shot at reformist ex-president Khatami. 'What happened after Khatami began cooperating with the United States? They began calling Iran as part of an axis of evil
Qalibaf responds to comments/questions from the other candidates. He backs down a bit saying he was not criticizing Iran's foreign policies, but will "kiss the hands" of all those involved in orchestrating the country's international policies
Gholam Ali haddad Adel, former parliament speaker, is up next after Qalibaf. He says Iran will never bow down to U.S. pressure and will remain independent. The U.S., he says, tried to ignore China for decades but finally reached out to Beijing.
Adel: Solving the issue of international financial sanctions is our most pressing foreign policy concern
Mohsen Rezai to Adel: United States is not talking with us directly because they want to buy their time.
