The election commission in Iran says the populist conservative president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has won a second term with more than 62%.

Away from the situation of internal instability reached in Iran after the presidential elections, no changes on the country's nuclear policy can be expected.

Both candidates, the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the reformist Mir Hossein Moussavi, who refuses to recognize the result, have expressed compliance with nuclear policy.

Mir Hossein Moussavi, polled just over 32%, but he refuses to accept the result.

President Ahmadinejad spoke on national television following his re-election for another four years.

He attacked foreign media and elements inside Iran for waging a propaganda campaign against the country.

In the centre of Tehran, thousands of opposition supporters took to the streets to express their anger at the result, throwing stones and setting fire to vehicles.

Riot police quickly moved in to disperse the protestors.
