MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Daniel Ortega was sworn in Tuesday for his third term as president of Nicaragua, shrugging off complaints that his re-election was illegal and vowing to govern with moderation.

Presidents from all other Central American nations attended the inauguration, but the most notable visitor was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is touring the region to bolster his country’s alliances near the U.S. at a moment of sharp disputes with Washington.

Ortega’s closest ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, attended the ceremony after playing host to Ahmadinejad in Caracas.
