Iran’s official news agency said that an explosion near the president’s convoy was just an excited fan setting off fireworks, denying reports of an assassination attempt.

khabaronline.ir, a conservative Iranian website, said a grenade exploded as the president’s convoy headed from the airport to the venue for the speech, but did not harm him.

“It will be one of your big mistakes if you think you, resorting to lies and hue and cry, are able to achieve something and we will give you any concession,” Ahmadinejad told the crowd at the Hamedan stadium. One person was arrested in connection with the attack, the website report said, adding that Ahmadinejad’s car was about 100 metres from the blast. It also said there was no information whether anyone was injured.
