Time to Turn Up the Heat on Iran

It is a compelling scene - thousands in the streets of Iran - calling for freedom - fighting for free and fair elections.  And, Barry, what is most troubling - but not necessarily surprising - is the Iranian regime's reaction - the use of deadly violence to quell the protests and a flagrant disregard for international law and basic human rights.

 

President Obama condemned the violence in a news conference today and used his strongest language yet, saying the world is "appalled and outraged" by Iran's actions.

And, the House and Senate passed separate resolutions in support of the Iranian protesters.

 

Since the election last week, nearly 20 Iranians have been killed - including the murder of a young Iranian girl whose killing was captured on video and posted online.
