Iran Says U.S. Meddling in its Affairs

From the Jerusalem Post:

The White House on Wednesday shrugged off complaints from Iran that the United States was meddling in its affairs.

Spokesman Robert Gibbs said that US President Barack Obama had struck the right tone in commenting about Iran's presidential election dispute in Iran. The Iranian government had reportedly summoned the Swiss ambassador, who represents US interests in Iran, to complain about American interference.

The White House in fact did not shrug it off. Obama reiterated Iran's hope by saying the U.S. shouldn't be "meddling" in Iran's affairs. At least Obama is on the same page as the mullahs.
