The semi-official Mehr news agency, citing an unnamed source, said the Guardian Council would consider barring Hassan Rohani for revealing what it said was classified information on Iran's nuclear program in a televised presidential debate and for some slogans chanted by his supporters during rallies.
Rohani is the most prominent moderate approved to run by the Guardian Council, a vetting body made up of clerics and jurists. The slate of eight candidates is dominated by hardliners and conservatives close to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Asr Iran newspaper quoted an unnamed source inside the Guardian Council's spokesman's office denying that Rohani's permission to run for election would be reviewed.
