Obama opposed to meddling in Iran's affairs
June 16. 2009
US President Barack Obama has expressed 'deep concern' about the post-election unrest in Iran but warned that meddling in Iran's internal affairs would backfire. "I have said before that I have deep concerns about the election. I think that the world has deep concerns about the election," AFP quoted Obama as saying.
"You have seen in Iran some initial reaction from the Supreme Leader that indicates he understands the Iranian people had deep concerns about the election." Obama said after meeting South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Washington on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Obama stated that the US does not want to interfere in Iran's internal affairs.
“It is not productive, given the history of US-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling in Iranian elections,” he added.
"When I see violence directed at peaceful protestors, when I see peaceful dissent being suppressed -- wherever that takes place -- it is a concern to me and it is a concern to the American people,” the US president stated.
“That is not how governments should interact with their people,” Obama said. “My hope is that the Iranian people will make the right steps in order for them to be able to express their voices, to express their aspirations,” he added.
