Iran’s Guardian Council has denied reports that it might consider disqualifying Hassan Rohani from the presidential race.

According to the official news agency IRNA, the Council’s spokesperson, Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, denied the reports. “Unfortunately, there have been [false] reports and we’re unaware of them,” he told reporters on Monday.

“The issue of reviewing the qualification of candidates is not being discussed. We deny such a thing,” headded.

On Sunday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported that Iran’s powerful electoral watchdog was to consider whether or not to disqualify a pro-reform candidate from running in the presidential elections on Friday June 14th.

The agency, which is associated with the Revolutionary Guards, quoted an “informed” source as saying that the Guardian Council would hold an urgent meeting on Monday morning to discuss Hassan Rohani’s disqualification from the presidential race.
