Clinton expresses support for Iranian protesters

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has expressed support for the tens of thousands of protesters in Iran's capital, saying they "deserve to have the same rights that they saw being played out in Egypt and are part of their own birthright."

Speaking to reporters after meeting House Speaker John Boehner, Clinton says she and others in Barack Obama's administration "very clearly and directly support the aspirations of the people who are in the streets" of Tehran. (AP)
