On Sunday President Obama urged the international community to support the demonstrators in Iran. He said:
"We respect Iran’s sovereignty, but we also are witnessing peaceful demonstrations, people expressing themselves, and I stand for that universal principle that people should have a voice in their own lives and their own destiny," Obama said in an interview with an English-language newspaper in Pakistan. |
Republicans have been criticizing the President all week for not saying or doing enough. The Obama administration has been cautious not to get overly involved in the Iranian election fallout to avoid claims that the US was responsible for the protests.
