CNN News analyst and reporter Reza Sayah comments on video appearing to show opposition supporters during protests in Tehran, particularly the footage showing picture of supreme leader Ali Khameneyee being torn apart and walked over by people.
Security forces have used batons and tear gas to disperse opposition supporters in the Iranian capital, Tehran, witnesses and state media say.
Unconfirmed reports said the authorities had also opened fire.
Video footage and photos showed what appeared to be large crowds of opposition supporters being chased by security forces in riot gear.
It came as an officially backed demonstration was held to mark 30 years since the seizure of the US embassy.
Thousands were present at the anti-American rally, about 1.5km (1 mile) from where opposition supporters gathered in Haft-e Tir square.
Other groups turned out in other parts of the capital to voice their opposition to the regime.
