U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is urging Iran's leaders to respect the will of their people as they investigate allegations of fraud in Friday's presidential election.

Mr. Ban was speaking Monday at the United Nations in New York. It was his first public comment on the disputed outcome of the election, which gave a landslide victory to the conservative incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

European Union foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg issued a statement Monday urging Iran to investigate election complaints filed by Mr. Ahmadinejad's challengers.

The EU diplomats also expressed "serious concern" about Iran's use of force against reformists protesting Mr. Ahmadinejad's victory. They urged Iran to respect freedom of expression.
