Iran Didn't Get Obama's Note, Accuses US Of Meddling

But, but Obama said he didn't care! He'd be happy with either guy, just as long as someone with a nifty Iranian accent would talk to him!

Iran accused the United States on Wednesday of "intolerable" meddling in its internal affairs, alleging for the first time that Washington has fueled a bitter postelection dispute. Opposition supporters marched in Tehran's streets for a third straight day to protest the outcome of the balloting.

The Iranian government summoned the Swiss ambassador, who represents U.S. interests in Iran, to complain about American interference, state-run Press TV reported.

The English-language channel quoted the government as calling Western interference "intolerable."

Gee, who couldn't have seen that coming? Now that Obama's new BFFs in Iran aren't impressed with his world class temperament and his "kill however many you have to to wrap this up so we can start talking" plan, can we now have the President of the US go on record in favor of the people who are fighting and dying?

Some how I doubt it.

Elsewhere in Iranian news...

Amid the ongoing protests there are reports of Hammas thugs being imported to attack Iranian civilians.

And Mousavi calls for more protests and a day of mourning tomorrow.

And it looks like the Iranian government has invested in the Farsi language version of Photoshop to make their crowds look, well, like crowds. Fail.
