Iran's hardline Guardian Council watchdog today reversed its ban on two reformists excluded from presidential elections on June 17th.
The decision to reinstate former Education Minister Mostafa Moin and Vice President for Sports Mohsen Mehralizadeh was made in a letter from Guardian Council head Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, state television said.
Mr Khamenei, who has the last word in all state matters, took the unusual step yesterday of urging the Guardian Council to overturn its disqualification of the two reformists.
The council had originally cleared six candidates - five of them conservatives.
