Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered Iran's Guardian Council, the country's highest legislative body, to probe into fraud allegations over the June 12 presidential vote, Iran's student state-controlled news agency ISNA reported June 15. Guardian Council spokesman Abbasali Kadkhodai said that the council would review formal appeals from reformist opposition candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi and would then issue its ruling within seven to ten days. The Supreme Leader is fulfilling his role as the grand mediator of factional disputes, but the outcome of the vote is unlikely to change. The June 12 vote that declared Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the victor with more than 65 percent of the vote has set off a chain of demonstrations in Tehran and several other cities by Mousavi supporters, mainly comprised of Iran's urban professional classes.
