Iran's capital, Tehran, was tense Sunday, following a week of sometimes violent opposition1 protests against a disputed election victory by incumbent2 President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad June 12.

On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to the streets and clashed with police, despite a warning by the country's supreme3 leader to halt demonstrations4. State-run television reported 13 people were killed.

Witnesses in Tehran said riot police used tear gas, batons5 and water cannons6 to disperse7 supporters of defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.

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 abide8 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.

He called on the powerful body that supervises elections, the Guardian11 Council, to use every possible means to convince protesters that their complaints will be thoroughly12 investigated.

In a speech to parliament, Larijani also criticized the United States, Britian, France and Germany, saying they were interfering13 in Iran's affairs.

On Saturday, U.S. President Barack Obama urged Iran's government to "stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people."

In his strongest response to Iran's post-election unrest, Mr. Obama said the Iranian government must understand that the world is watching. He called on Iran to "govern through consent, not coercion14."

Analysts15 say a power struggle continues between Iran's veteran former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, despite Khamenei's praise for Mr. Rafsanjani during Friday's prayers in Tehran.
