Iran's legislative body, the Guardian Council, has said there were no major polling irregularities in the 12 June election and ruled out an annulment.
Opposition supporters called for the vote to be set aside and the elections re-run amid claims of vote tampering.
But Guardian Council spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhoda'i said there was "no major fraud or breach in the election".
Meanwhile, opposition candidate Mehdi Karoubi urged Iranians to mourn for dead protestors on Thursday.
Mr Karoubi, who is among those asking for the election to be set aside, wants mourning ceremonies to be held around the country, his aide Issa Saharkhiz said.

    • That's just horrible. At this point everyone knows the election was rigged. But of course the Iranian high mufties are going to pull the same shit that our supreme court did in *cough* previous elections. I hope that the Iranians get their properly elected leader eventually, but things aren't looking good right now.

    • I wonder what would actually happen here if we were to rise up and got to the streets against our government about the atrocities that are being perpetrated upon our constitutional rights?

    • What a crazy situation over there!!! I think it's heinous that Iranians are losing lives to an institution that is supposed to be working FOR THEM. I think it's awesome though that these people are that willing to fight against an injustice they shouldn't have to suffer. Love 'n' Respect to the people of Iran!!!

    • No major irregularities... riiiiiiight. Tell that to the protesters setting fires in the streets of Tehran. I'm sure they believe you. Or maybe not, since they're clearly agents of foreign governments sent in to overthrow the Ayatollah.
