Iran’s Supreme Leader has accused the opposition of breaking the law by insulting the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged opposition leaders to “identify those behind the insult to Imam Khomeini”.
The remarks centre on an alleged incident last Monday during which a poster of Imam Khomeini was torn up.
Opposition leaders say the alleged incident – shown on state television – has been doctored.
