BBC CORRESPONDENT
I'm in the centre of Tehran close to Enghelab Square where the demonstration was supposed to have been held. But there's a huge security presence here, thousands of men from every possible service: police, revolutionary guard, military police, the riot police in full riot gear, and the much-feared Basij - religious paramilitaries who see themselves as the shock troops of the Islamic revolution.
It's impossible for any groups of people to get through these to Enghelab Square and hold their demonstration.
If this continues and the opposition can't find some way around fierce security then the protests against the results of the presidential election will have been defeated.
