Security forces, demonstrators face off in the streets of Tehran as hundreds turn out, rather than the tens of thousands of previous rallies. Opposition leaders had called off demonstrations, fearing the official response. Small clashes erupted Saturday between demonstrators marking the first anniversary of Iran's disputed presidential election and baton-wielding security forces, witnesses and opposition websites reported.
