The council today said on its website that it had reinstated the candidates during a review process it started after a request last week by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei .
The Guardians Council says it is continuing to review the candidates -- which include some 80 sitting reformist parliamentarians -- who are hoping to run in the 20 February vote.
There was no immediate comment from reformist parliamentarians who have been conducting a sit-in protest in parliament for more than a week over the Guardians Council decision.
