Iran Parliament Passes Law: President Must Hold a Master's Degree

The bill passed by a majority vote, with 151 members of the 206 members present voting in favor of it, 31 against, and 6 abstentions. The law is subject to final approval or veto by the twelve-member Council of Guardians, which reviews all laws passed by the parliament to determine any conflicts with the Constitution and Islamic Sharia law.
