When does the Guardian Council decide who is approved? @MeirJa

@lrozen If I am not mistaken final list of approved #Iran presidential candidates will be known by May 11th

Someone suggested ystrdy SL doesn't want Meshaei to run, Ah'd doesn't want Qalibaf, perhaps some behind scenes bargaining going on @MeirJa

@lrozen @MeirJa There is no sign that Qalibaf is SL's first choice.

Velayati seems to be his first choice, you agree? @BahmanKalbasi @MeirJa

@lrozen @bahmankalbasi @meirja Nobody knows + we won't now. Did we know A-jad was his favored candidate in 2005? No, not until the runoff.

@hmajd @lrozen @BahmanKalbasi @MeirJa Ahmadi was NOT Khamenei's favored candidate in 2005...not until runoff with Rafsanjani.

@rezaaslan @lrozen @bahmankalbasi @meirja Actually he was, after SL withdrew support from Qalibaf 5 days before the election. But few knew.
