TEHRAN -- Backers of beaten presidential candidate Mirhossein Mr. Mousavi will decide on Saturday whether to defy a stern warning by Iran's top authority and stage mass protests over a disputed election.
Iran's top legislative body holds an extraordinary session on Saturday morning to which it has invited Mr. Mousavi and the two other candidates who lost against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12 election, which Mr. Mousavi wants annulled.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei demanded an end to the rallies on Friday, issuing a strong warning to leaders of the street protests that they will be responsible for any bloodshed.
