NIAC reports:

Reports on the turnout in Tehran have varied widely...We just got an estimate of 100,000-200,000 from someone on the scene. They report the IRGC backed off for the rally. The crowd chanted “Mousavi get our vote back!” and “Armed forces, support, support (us)!" A source tells us that least one state run media channel has shown pictures of the protests and announced that Mousavi would be at the rally, which indicates that some in the media are refusing marching orders. That source believes the mentality changing that people aren’t rallying because they are angry anymore, but because they believe they can have an impact.
