Sens. Feinstein, Casey, Lugar, Grassley On Iran
CNN: A bipartisan group of four senators expressed support Sunday for the Iranians protesting in the country’s streets for the last week but differed over how the United States should react to the evolving situation. California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Iran’s leadership “threw the gauntlet to the people, essentially.”
“When there was a way out for the Supreme Leader,” by voiding the recent election and calling for a new one, Feinstein said, “instead, what you have is a total put-down by the leadership of what began as a legitimate protest which has now turned into much more than that because of the brutality that the regime has shown to its people.”
Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley joined a chorus of fellow Republicans who have criticized how President Obama is responding to the political unrest in Iran.
