Iranian state television announced Tuesday that only seven candidates have been approved by the country’s constitutional watchdog to run for president next month, APA's bureau in Tehran reports.

State TV quoted Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, the spokesman of the Guardian Council, as saying “only seven” had been approved out of some 590.

Kadkhodaei did not name those selected.

Iran’s Interior Ministry, which oversees its police and elections, typically announces the candidates.
