I have collect you some information regarding “ US President Barack Obama has strongly condemned the "unjust actions" of Iran in clamping down on election protests.” From the source bbc.news.com
He said he respected Iran 's sovereignty and it was "patently false" of Iran to say the West was fomenting the unrest. UN chief Ban Ki-moon had called on Iran to respect the "will of its people" after the disputed presidential poll but Tehran accused him of "meddling". Earlier, the opposition was told by Iran 's Guardian Council the 12 June election would not be annulled.
Electoral fraud
But Iran 's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later agreed to extend by five days the amount of time allowed examining complaints of electoral fraud. In the 11 days since the election result, which saw incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad returned with 63% of the vote, opposition supporters have clashed with police on the streets of the capital Tehran . Mr Obama said: "The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, beatings, and imprisonments of the last few days.
"I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost." He said: "The United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not at all interfering in Iran 's affairs. But we must also bear witness to the courage and dignity of the Iranian people, and to a remarkable opening within Iranian society."
