/Update
The Iran Guardian Council's Spokesman Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, who was speaking on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Channel 2 on Sunday stated that over 100% turnout occured in 50 cities. A few notes:
- He claimed that over 3 million votes were affected.
- He claimed that oposition candidate Moussavi claimed it was 160 cities, but infact it was "only" 50 cities.

Background info below the fold.
The guardian council has been seen as siding with Ahmadinejad in this standoff. Therefore, this development is significant.
The link that I provided is to the official english news agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It is unknown what "3 million votes affected" means. Does it mean that 3 million total votes existed in those 50 cities? Does it mean that 3 million votes exist above 100% turn out? Frankly, it should not matter as even if one small city has a turn out above 100% that means that the election is a sham.
