White House hoping violence in Iran won't spread
WASHINGTON – The White House is calling for an end to violence in Iran as security forces there crack down on anti-government protesters.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs
said Wednesday that Obama administration leaders are following reports
of the unrest and "hope greatly that violence will not spread."
In
Tehran, Iranian security forces beat anti-government protesters with
batons Wednesday on the sidelines of state-sanctioned rallies to mark
the 30th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover. The
counter-demonstrations were the opposition's first major show of force
on Tehran's streets in nearly two months.
