“There is no such thing as ‘disqualifying the hopefuls’ when it comes to presidential elections,” Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei said on Tuesday night.

“In fact, the Guardian Council announces to the Interior Ministry the names of applicants who are qualified. So, the law does not provide for hopefuls to file an objection to the result of [the council’s] reviewing their credentials,” he said.

He said four principles were taken into account when reviewing the credentials of hopefuls who had registered for the upcoming presidential election.

Kadkhodai said a presidential candidate must be a political figure, must be religious, must be a manager and must be prudent
He explained that the credentials of some of the hopefuls were reviewed at the council again, and that is why the legal deadline for examining the applicants’ qualifications was extended.

Azar Mansouri said in a tweet that “the Reformist are denied the right to actively participate in elections.”

“What the Guardian Council did… violates people’s right to vote in free elections, and makes the election meaningless,” she added.

The Reformist Front had chosen 14 candidates for the June elections, but seven of them, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, refused to sign up, and the remaining seven were all disqualified by the Guardian Council.

Now only two candidates, Mehralizadeh and Hemmati, are left from the moderate/reformist camp, none of whom are among the candidates chosen by the Reformist Front.

Gholam-Hossein Esmaili said it is only within the remit of the Iranian Judiciary to look into the case.

“Under the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as international law and regulations and the general principles ruling international law, as the incident happened in Iran, the only competent authority to review the case is Iranian courts, and courts of other countries, including Canada, have no jurisdiction over the issue,” said the spokesman in reaction to an Ontario court ruling issued on the air accident.

The court verdict claims that missiles were intentionally fired at the aircraft by the air defence batteries of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). The court ruling has dismissed the incident as a terrorist act.

Esmaili rejected the Canadian court ruling as “unscientific” and “based on conjecture.”

He said the verdict is legally invalid and not based on enough evidence.

The spokesman dismissed Canada’s move as politically motivated.
