The Guardian Council, the Iranian electoral watchdog, has declared the file on Iran's 10th presidential elections closed.

Council spokesman Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei told Press TV's correspondent on Tuesday that the Council has had its 'final say' on the issue and has closed the file on the election upon verifying the vote result. He added that no other complaints would be investigated.

Kadkhodaei added that the body would release a detailed report of the vote recount despite not having found any significant irregularities.

When asked whether the defeated candidates could pursue their complaints with the Iranian parliament, Kadkhodaei reaffirmed that the case was closed and only certain 'marginal issues' could be taken to parliament.

"The events taking place on the sidelines of the election and the irregularities on Election Day ... they will be looked into and any wrongdoing will be dealt with. But Article 90 [of the constitution] can only deal with the marginal issues pertaining to the election."

Article 90 of the Iranian Constitution states that complaints concerning the work of the executive body, led by the president, can be referred to parliament, which is obligated to investigate the complaint and demand proper investigation into the matter.

After incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared winner of the 10th election with almost two-thirds of the votes, defeated candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi rejected the result as fraudulent and demanded a re-run.

While Iran's electoral watchdog did not agree to a re-run, it announced readiness for a random recount of 10 percent of the votes.

The council announced late Monday that the recount of 10 percent of the ballot boxes had shown no irregularities and confirmed Ahmadinejad as the winner of the presidential race.
