IRANIAN officials have declared the hotly disputed presidential election to be correct after a partial recount.

Guardian Council Secretary Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati presented Minister of the Interior Sadegh Mahsouli a letter yesterday saying the council has approved the election after a recount of 10 percent of the ballots.

Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi claims he, not President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is the rightful winner of the June 12 election.
