Jump To Comment: 1Different stories are emerging from the different Iranian State and Religious propaganda organisations.
State-run Press TV said "no such attack had happened", and officials said the blast was caused by a firework.
"It was a firecracker, and a statement will be released soon," an official in the president's media office told the Agence France-Presse news agency.
Al Alam, a state-run Arabic-language TV channel, reported that the firecracker was set off to cheer the president.
The Khabaronline website said the president's car was about 100 metres (330ft) away from the explosion, which "caused a lot of smoke", but later removed the article from its website.
The semi-official Fars news agency first said the device was a homemade grenade, but later said the explosion was caused by a firecracker.
