Gholamhossein Elham also told reporters that after Majlis ratified a bill in this regard, the GC did not consider it to be against the constitution and Islamic tenets, IRNA reported.

"The council also approved outlines of an agreement signed between Iran and the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization at the ISESCO headquarters," he said.

Commenting on the bill on using foreign financial resources, the spokesman noted that the council did not approve it because Majlis failed to remove the ambiguities pointed out by the council.

"The Majlis bill on foreign financial resources will be referred to State Expediency Council," he added.

Elham noted that Ahmad Jannati, the council's secretary, has retained his post in last week's internal election.

Asked whether the designated justice minister, Jamal Karimi-Rad, can retain his post as judiciary spokesman, Elham said "there is nothing wrong with it".
