From ultra-conservative Tehran-based newspaper "Kayhan" owned by Supreme Leader Khamenei and run by hard-liner Hossein Shariatmadari.
The Guardians Council, the Interior Ministry, election monitors, and the election committee met with Supreme Leader Khamenei on Tuesday about the election results. Representatives of each presidential candidate defended their views on the disputed election results. Khamenei responded, saying that the participation of 40 million people in the 2009 presidential election is an honor for our Islamic system, a symbol of unity, and proof of the country's sovereignty. Rebellion and violence, he said, must be resisted in the name of a unified national identity.
"Kayhan" also explains today why six ambassadors were called in to the Foreign Ministry recently:
Following the impudent and interfering statements about the great presidential election in Iran, ambassadors from the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Czech Republic were called in to the Foreign Ministry yesterday.
From Tehran-based reformist newspaper "Etemad" (Trust), run by former member of parliament Elias Hazrati:
A government committee met on Wednesday to investigate recent attacks on university campuses. The meeting was closed to the public, but part of the report was leaked, asking: “Why were undercover officers attacking universities without official authorization?"
Also in "Etemad":
Fourteen members of parliament questioned the finance minister on Wednesday. He was asked to defend the government's decision of allocating "shares" to President Ahmadinejad before the presidential election. Members of parliament have accused the Ahmadinejad campaign of giving the shares to voters prior to the election. The Finance Ministry was asked to explain.
From Tehran-based reformist newspaper "Etemad-e-Melli," owned by 2009 presidential candidate Mehdi Karrubi:

From the reformist-turned-conservative "Iran" newspaper run by Kaveh Eshtehardi:
Friday Prayers will take place with the presence of Ayatollah Khamenei. Also, student assemblies will gather in response to reports that Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's two children, Faezeh Hashemi and Mehdi Hashemi, were arrested. The Hashemis were active in organizing recent protests. The students will meet in the Ark Square at 10 a.m. to intercede for the Hashemis and to ask the courts to help prevent street violence.
