The Guardian Council of the Constitution is an appointed and
constitutionally- council that wields considerable power and influence
in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Council has played a central role in allowing only one interpretation of Islamic values to inform Iranian law, as it consistently disqualifies reform-minded candidates—including the most well-known candidates—from running for office, and vetoes laws passed by the popularly elected Majlis
When
the 2009 Presidential election was announced, the popular former
president, Mohammad Khatami, would not discuss his plans to run against
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the Council may disqualify the Muslim cleric as
it has other reformist candidates on the grounds that they were not
dedicated enough to Islamic values.
