Promising paradise'
Larijani is a supporter of the 2015 nuclear deal, which offered Iran a relief from sanctions, in return to limitations on its nuclear activities.
The deal has been on life-support since former US president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew Washington from it in 2018, and reimposed punishing sanctions on Tehran.
Singling out the economy as Iran's main issue, Larijani accused anyone of "promising paradise in this complicated state" that the country is going through of "speaking falsely".
In his statement, Raisi said he came forward over intense "public demand," and aims to run "independently in order to bring about a change in the executive management of the country".
He also vowed to wage "a relentless fight against poverty and corruption, humiliation and discrimination," the main slogans of his campaign four years ago.
Raisi bears the title of Hojjat al-Islam, which is a rank under Ayatollah in the Shiite cleric hierarchy.
The two main coalitions of conservative and ultra-conservative factions had already announced their support for Raisi.
Several prominent conservative figures, such as parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, had reportedly said they would stay out of the race if Raisi ran.
Raisi was appointed by the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to take over the judiciary leadership in 2019 from Sadegh Amoli Larijani, brother to Ali Larijani.
This is Larijani's second run for the presidency. He ran in 2005, which saw a surprise victory by the ultraconservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – who has also put his name in to run as well.
