President Obama provided some much-anticipated guidance on his policy towards Iran today in the fourth news conference of his presidency.
Regarding the shooting of the 26 year old Iranian girl, who bled to death and whose picture is now being beamed around the world, Mr. Obama called it “problematic.”
In no way, shape, or form did Mr. Obama want to take credit for the acts of extraordinary courage we have seen taking place on the streets of Tehran
Mr. Obama was at pains to state that only time will tell how the situation in Iran is resolved.
“The Iranian people know that we are watching.” That must be a great comfort to them.
The choice is up to the Iranian government.
Mr. Obama repeatedly declined the opportunity to spell out any consequences for the violence. He did not even want to say that Iranian diplomats might be disinvited from July 4 celebration at the U.S. embassies.
