Rumors on intention to disqualify Rouhani

The Iranian media is reporting that the Guardian Council is likely to reexamine the candidacy of Rouhani, and he may be disqualified in light of accusations of supporting the heads of the Fitna and of disclosing confidential information. Following the reports, the election headquarters of Aref and Rouhani in Shiraz were attacked by plainclothes police. Prior to the attack, the Intelligence Ministry headquarters in Shiraz summoned several members of the Rouhani campaign headquarters for questioning. The Guardian Council Spokesman denied reports of a possible reexamination of Rouhani’s candidacy.
