Today, President Barack Obama denounced the ongoing violence in Iran, regarding the corrupted election that was held this month.

 

He stated he respects their sovereignty but, "The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, beatings, and imprisonments of the last few days." The world is shell-shocked over what is transpiring in Iran.

Iranian hard-liners attempt to shut down opposition movement

Iran's hard-line leaders moved aggressively Tuesday to silence protests over the disputed June 12 presidential election, rejecting demands for a new vote and announcing that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be sworn in for second term as early as July 26.

With massive security forces deployed in Tehran, the regime also promised that protesters would get harsh treatment from a special court.
