In Iran, opposition groups have called for another major rally outside the Iranian parliament today in defiance of a government ban. The call comes after the Guardian Council rejected claims of fraud and ruled out annulling the election results. The streets of Tehran were relatively quiet Tuesday, even as the Iranian government continued to target critics. It’s established a special court for demonstrators and detained more journalists and activists. Meanwhile at the White House, President Obama issued his strongest condemnation of the Iranian government since the election took place.

President Obama: “The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, the beatings and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost.”
