Iran's diplomatic ties nosedive

International relations with Tehran are becoming more strained as Iranian newspapers blame western countries for interfering after the elections.

Meanwhile, Iran's Guardian Council has said there were no major polling irregularities in the election and ruled out an annulment.

Restrictions have been placed on the BBC and other foreign news organisations in Iran. Reporters are not allowed to cover unauthorised gatherings or move around freely, but there are no controls over what they can say.
