Huge crowds cheered Mir Hossein Mousavi when he appeared at the rally
Shots have been fired during a massive rally in Iran against last week’s presidential election results, with reports saying one person was killed.
Hundreds of thousands rallied to support candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, but a group of them was fired on from a militia base they had surrounded.
Mr Mousavi has lodged a legal appeal against the result but says he is not optimistic it will succeed.
US President Barack Obama has said he is "deeply troubled" by the violence.
On Monday evening, in his first public comments since the election results, he said that free speech and the democratic process must be respected in Iran.
