CNSNews.com - Hillary Clinton Views Previous Iranian Governments as ‘Democratically Elected’

CNSNews.com - Hillary Clinton Views Previous Iranian Governments as ‘Democratically Elected’: "(CNSNews.com) – Expanding her views on Iran “becoming a military dictatorship,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was increasingly filling the space once held by Iran’s clerical and political leaders.

Speaking in Saudi Arabia Monday evening alongside Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, Clinton said she and her Saudi counterpart shared the hope that “the religious and political leaders of Iran act to take back the authority which they should be exercising on behalf of the people.”

She suggested that the situation in Iran today has changed from an earlier one in which Iran had “democratically elected governments – whether one agreed with them or not – which had the support of the Iranian people.”"
