On June 12th, 2009 Iran had its 10th election, declaring incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the victor. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi believe that the election was rigged and many of the worlds nations are also questioning the outcome.
Following this election, Tehran and other cities have seen the largest street protests and rioting since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, upset at their announced loss and suspicions of voter fraud, took to the streets both peacefully and, in some cases, violently to vent their frustrations. Iranian security forces and hard line volunteer militia members responded with force and arrests, attempting to stamp out the protests.
Many have criticized the United States for what they see as a lack of support for the demonstrators, while others warn against U.S involvement. Do you think that the U.S and other countries that disagree with how Iran is handling the protests should step in? If so, how should they intervene? |
