The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching. We mourn each and every innocent life that is lost. We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people. The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights.
As I said in Cairo, suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion.Martin Luther King once said - "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." I believe that. The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian peoples' belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness.
Also, the White House press pool just received a notice to gather at 3:10 PM ET.

Big news pending in five minutes?!?
By the way, note that he says he mourns the "innocent" lives that are lost. Earlier today, I saw something else from him encouraging non-violence.
Fuck him.
The Iranian people MUST be violent at this point.
Look at the women in the post above this - they shot her in the mouth, execution style - she was just a protester.
Our president is weak. A sheep, in wolf's clothing.
God bless the good people of Iran. May they have victory.
Don't be fooled. Freedom isn't free....it costs. Usually the blood of patriots.
The point of no return has passed. If the people stop their forward process towards removal of the regime, they will pay a heavy price. Iran will become a military state, masses will be imprisoned and executed. They will never be allowed to repeat this. Their actions MUST be fully supported. These people need weapons. You can't fight tanks & guns with rocks.
