Mousavi rally draws tens of thousands in Tehran

University officials denied the reported incidents.

A burnt-out shell of a bus or truck lay inside the university's dormitory compound, Reuters television pictures showed. Across the road, a bank office had been gutted by fire.

Outside the British embassy in downtown Tehran, Ahmadinejad supporters chanted slogans against the "plots of Iran's Western enemies", a Reuters witness said.

Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak again said his country reserved all options on Iran -- code for a possible attack on nuclear sites, which Tehran says are only for peaceful purposes.

"The triumph of extremism is bad news, as any victory of extremists should be defined," he told reporters at the Paris Air Show, referring to the outcome of the Iranian election.

"I am not sure to what extent the result reflects the real will of the Iranian people," added Barak, whose country is believed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal. (Editing by Alistair Lyon and Janet Lawrence) REUTERS Reut 13:31 06-15-09
