A planned rally by supporters of the defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi in Tehran has been banned by Iran's interior ministry, but protesters still looked set to take to the streets later today.

The news came as reports spread that dozens of leading members of the opposition had been detained.

Mousavi is reported to have appealed to the country's guardian council to challenge the result of the elections, alleging widespread fraud.

However, the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed the results were fair and compared the protests to the passion shown by football fans after a game.

Earlier, Mousavi's supporters had been handing out leaflets and sending internet messages calling for a rally in Tehran's Enghelab Square at 4pm local time. But it is now unclear whether protesters will take to the streets.

A message broadcast on state radio said: "The interior ministry issued a statement and said no permission had been issued for a rally ... the holding of such a gathering would be illegal."
