I was wondering when the hell they were going to start blaming us for the protests. I'm not surprised.
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran
accused the United States on Wednesday of "intolerable" meddling in its
internal affairs, alleging for the first time that Washington has
fueled a bitter postelection dispute. Opposition supporters marched in
Tehran's streets for a third straight day to protest the outcome of the
balloting.
The Iranian government summoned the
Swiss ambassador, who represents U.S. interests in Iran, to complain
about American interference, state-run Press TV reported.
The English-language channel quoted the government as calling Western interference "intolerable."
President Barack Obama
has reacted cautiously to developments in Iran, saying he shared the
world's "deep concerns about the election" but adding that it was "not
productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as
meddling."
