The wife of Iranian opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi claimed on Monday that a group of "thugs" paid by "corrupt" government officials had vandalised the apartment block where the family lives in Tehran.

"About 50 people, including four or five women gathered in front of our building with the support of intelligence and police forces and shouted slogans against" opposition leaders, Karroubi's website, Sahamnews, quoted his wife Fatemeh Karroubi as saying.
