Renewed clashes reported in Iran

Iranian security forces and opposition activists have clashed in Tehran, reformist websites and witnesses say.

Some reports say shots have been fired in the air to disperse demonstrators in the centre of the capital.

Clashes were also reported in northern Tehran, where reformist ex-President Mohammad Khatami had been due to speak. (BBC)
