"Today our country took an important step in showing support for many Iranians and their quest for democracy. The United States is the greatest democracy in the world, and today we expressed our sympathy for the people of Iran who are fighting for their basic rights, thus showing our solidarity with those who seek the same liberties in their country that we enjoy in ours."
