On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to the streets and clashed with police, despite a warning by the country's supreme leader to halt demonstrations. State-run television reported 13 people were killed.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, meanwhile, told an interviewer on Iranian TV (according to Iran's Press TV) that the opinion of those who think the results from the disputed presidential election are not accurate, should be respected. Iran's Press TV quoted him as saying it was necessary to abide by the law and urging "politicians and candidates" to pursue their claims through legal channels, saying the issue should not be taken to the streets.
