Tehran marks 'day of mourning'
Updated on 18 June 2009
Thousands gather at yet another Iranian rally to honour those killed in the mass political demonstrations over the past six days.
Tens of thousands of people have been on the streets of Tehran to mourn those killed in protests since the Iranian presidential election last week.
The rally was addressed by defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who has been invited, along with the two other defeated candidates, to a meeting with Iran's top legislative council to discuss their complaints about the election.
Jon Snow discusses the west's response to the Iranian election with James Phillips from the Heritage Foundation, who has attacked President Obama for his failure to denounce the regime's violent response to opposition supporters, and Flynt Leverett from the New America Foundation, who argues for greater engagement between the west and Iran and has published a paper this week titled “Ahmadinejad won. Get over it”.
