Iranian riot police are reported to have clashed with demonstrators who are defying government decrees to stop street protests over disputed elections.
Eyewitness reports say there have been clashes near the parliament building in the capital Tehran, in the streets around Baharestan Square.
The new protests came hours after Iran\'s supreme leader said he would not yield over the election result.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei again said the result would stand, despite days of protests in which at least 17 people are reported to have died.
