Iranian election protests turn bloody

MOSCOW, June 23 (RIA Novosti) - Iran's controversially re-elected president and new cabinet will be sworn in between July 26 and August 19, the Islamic Republic's official news agency said on Tuesday.

IRNA said parliament had decided on the period during which the presidential oath and the introduction of the new cabinet will take place.

Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian state television reported that the Guardian Council, which oversees national elections, said it would not annul the results of the June 12 presidential vote.

The landslide victory of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on June 12 sparked a week of mass protests amid opposition allegations of ballot fraud. At least 17 people have been killed in demonstrations.

Reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi and other opposition leaders have repeatedly called on the council to annul the results.
