Iran Live News | Congressman Mark Kirk criticise Obama's policy towards Iranian people

Source: VOA Persian TV News report

Green movement mobilization came a day after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei bluntly rejected US overtures for engagement.

Now that Iran has rebuffed all entreaties, President Obama should understand he got a No, said Congressman Mark Kirk, R-Ill., today in a speech in which he called for a new strategy to promote democracy and human rights in Iran, invoking the example of US support for Soviet dissidents.

The protests that erupted after the fraudulent June 12 election prompted what one former State Department official called a perceptible deflation of hope within the administration at prospects for engaging Iran. Supreme Leader Khameneis dismissal of any potential rapprochement as perverted may demand a strategic shift.

The Iranian nation will not be deceived by ostensibly conciliatory remarks and will never comprise on its independence, freedom, national interests, and rights, he told students in Tehran.

The United States should not pin its hopes on certain incidents that occurred after the June 12 presidential election because the Islamic Republic can weather much heavier storms, he stated. Iran would continue to challenge the global arrogance.
