Re <<maybe it was Khatami>>

I think it was.

Re <<sounded very reasonable>>

Then it most definitely was Khatami and not Khamenei. Khamenei is a hardliner with little understanding of democracy. With him in the "supreme leader" position, any serious reform is unlikely.

Re <<would it help to identify his name if I told you he was dark skinned and wore a brown turban?>>

That would really be confusing. No one in Iran wears a brown turban, it is either white or black. ;-) Black means descendants of Muhamad (don't ask how they know or how it is proven).
