The Islamic Republic of Iran has been in turmoil since the June 12 presidential elections.
Two hours after the polls closed, authorities announced Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the presidency with 60 per cent of the votes. The announcement prompted protests from supporters of main opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
