Six candidates, most of them conservative, received permission to participate in the presidential elections on June 28 in Iran, the Ministry of the Interior announced.
The candidates were selected by the Council of Guardians of the Constitution, a conservative-dominated body responsible for overseeing the electoral process.
80 people submitted candidacies, only one of them is a reformer, while the candidacy of former president Mahmud Ahmadinejad was rejected.
The presidential elections are organized after the death of Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash in May.
