"Iran’s business community has reacted with shock to Tehran’s decision to bar former president Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani from running in next month’s presidential poll, seeing it as a blow to the possibility of reform for the beleaguered economy.
Iran’s constitutional watchdog, the Guardian Council, on Tuesday disqualified Mr Rafsanjani and Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei, an ally of outgoing president Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad. The two candidates were considered not loyal enough to the Islamic regime to run for president in the June 14 election."
