A video has surfaced on YouTube purporting to show another demonstration today in Tehran. The clip appears to show a crowd marching down a street while chanting. The authenticity could not be independently verified, but it has been much discussed on Twitter, which is being used by Iranians to spread word of their demonstrations. It was also picked up by the New York Times’ The Lede blog.

At least 13 people were reported killed in the clashes Saturday between security forces and demonstrators protesting the outcome of the disputed presidential election. The capital, Tehran, remains tense today, but there were no immediate reports of further clashes. There were reports of sporadic gunshots in some neighborhoods Sunday evening.
