"Nice" Iranian Election
Iran’s main reformist party threatened to boycott the June 17 presidential election after the country’s constitutional watchdog disqualified its candidates.
All reformists who registered to participate in the upcoming election were rejected by the Guardian Council, which accepted only six out of the 1,014 candidates to replace outgoing president Mohamed Khatami, who is banned by law from seeking a third consecutive presidential term.
