Ebrahim Raisi, the former head of the Astan Quds Razavi religious foundation, with Iran’s Supreme Leader (File)
UPDATE, MAY 25: Iran’s Guardian Council has approved only seven candidates for the June 18 Presidential election.
Spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei said the list was sent to the Interior Ministry late Monday. He did not give the names of the approved candidates.
Rumors have circulated that the Council had again blocked some leading politicians from candidacy, including 1st Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri and former Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
The claims were fed by Fars, the outlet of the Revolutionary Guards. The elite military organization is opposed to both Jahangiri, who is backed by reformist factions, and Larijani, who has criticized the hardline favorite Ebrahim Raisi.
