Obama: World is ‘appalled and outraged’ by violence in Iran

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Tuesday declared the United States and the entire world are “appalled and outraged” by Iran’s violent efforts to crush dissent, a clear toughening of his rhetoric as Republican critics at home pound him for being too passive.

Obama condemned the “threats, beatings and imprisonments of the last few days. “

“I strongly condemn these unjust actions,” Obama said in a news conference at the White House.
