# Barack Obama warns 'violent' authorities in the Middle East
|
|
|
|
## US President Barack Obama criticises Iran for its harsh treatment of anti-
|
|
government protesters and called on regimes throughout the Middle East to
|
|
avoid crackdowns on pro-democracy supporters.

The President said: "I find it ironic that you've got the Iranian regime
|
|
pretending to celebrate what happened in Egypt when in fact they have acted in
|
|
direct contrast to what happened in Egypt by gunning down and beating people
|
|
who are trying to express themselves peacefully in Iran.
|
|
|
|
"And I also think an important lesson... that we can draw from this is real
|
|
change in these societies is not going to happen because of terrorism. It's
|
|
not going to happen because you go around killing innocents.
|
|
|
|
"It's going to happen because people come together and apply moral force to a
|
|
situation. That's what garners international support, that's what garners
|
|
internal support, that's how you bring about lasting change."
