'Clashes erupt on streets of Teheran'

Clashes erupted between Iranian university and security forces in Teheran, according to various media reports.

The students were apparently protesting against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's regime, on the 30th anniversary of taking 52 US Embassy employees hostage for 444 days.

Iranian security forces fired tear gas canisters at the protesters, Israel Radio reported.

Reuters reported that the security forces had come together to quell any rebellion that might break out.

Vocal opposition leaders Mirhossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi had reportedly issued calls for anti-Ahmadinejad protests.
