Fair point. I guess we’ll see. Approved candidates will be announced on June 11, i believe.
She is anyway unlikely to win even if her candidacy qualifies because there are already several other candidates in the race who are much more politically prominent, such as former president Ahmadinejad (though he may also not be approved, and i don’t know how popular he was as a president anyway). But it would be a good precedent.
