Iran's Interior Ministry called on the defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi to " respect law," the local IRNA news agency reported, according to Xinhua.
The statement which was issued in response to Mousavi's allegations of "fraud" in Iran's recent presidential election, asked him "to respect the law and the people's vote and to behave according to the law."
On June 13, Iran's Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli said incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won 62.63 percent of the total ballots, while his main rival Mir-Hossein Mousavi got 33.75 percent.
The other two candidates, former parliament speaker Mehdi Karroubi and former Revolutionary Guards Chief Mohsen Rezaei, got less than 2 percent of the total ballots.
After the official declaration, all the three defeated candidates filed complaints over irregularities in the election, while Mousavi and Karroubi have demanded an annulment of the election.
Mousavi's supporters have participated in massive rallies in Tehran and other cities over the past days.
The Guardian Council said on Saturday that it was ready to recount up to 10 percent of the ballot boxes randomly in the disputed presidential election, state television reported.
