TEHERAN: Under pressure from Iran's Supreme Leader, the country's hard-line watchdog reversed itself on Wednesday and said two reformist candidates can run in next month's presidential race — defusing a brewing crisis that had prompted boycott calls. The move by the Guardian Council came as clerical rulers seek a high turnout to boost their credibility at a time when the country remains under international pressure over its nuclear programme. A low turnout in the June 17 election could undermine the ruling Islamic establishment at home and weaken its position in crucial negotiations with Europeans over the controversial nuclear programme. — AP
