Tehran's clash of ideals
Updated on 10 June 2009
Millions of Iranians prepare to go to the polls in hard-fought presidential elections. Lindsey Hilsum reports from Tehran.
Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused his election rivals of using Hitler-style smear tactics against him.
It is the last day of increasingly bitter campaigning in the poll, which is pitting the abrasive president, a Holocaust denier and aggressive proponent of Iran's nuclear programme - against the moderate reformist Mir Hossein Mousavi.
In this close-fought contest he has accused Ahmadinejad of lying about the state of the economy.
