As the election day approaches, discussions regarding the qualification of candidates continue. Hassan Rouhani, the President of Iran, believes that the Guardian Council should act in a way that facilitates the participation of more groups. However, some IRGC leaders have a different opinion and express concerns about 'influence' in the elections. Reza Alijani, a political analyst residing in Paris, believes that the reason for this concern is that the IRGC has been deprived of the benefits they enjoyed during Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government, particularly in the context of the JCPOA policies and nuclear negotiations, over the past two years of Rouhani's administration. Morteza Kazemian, another political analyst in Paris, also believes that Rouhani's request for creating a platform for more groups to participate in the elections is a form of pressure or demand for a more competitive election.
