Iran's top legislative body has begun a partial recount of June's presidential election results.

According to Iran's state TV the recount has started on Monday in the capital Tehran, as well as in the country's provinces.

Iran's Guardian Council has offered to recount a random 10% of the votes from the 12 June election.

The process is expected to be completed later Monday, and the result will be announced shortly afterwards, al-Alam television said.

However, Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi insists the poll was rigged and therefore should be annulled.

Current President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was declared the poll's winner - a move that triggered mass street protests.
