WASHINGTON — The White House today expressed concern about a violent crackdown on anti-government protesters in Iran as President Barack Obama said he wanted U.S. and Iran to move beyond "suspicion, mistrust and confrontation."

Iranian security forces clubbed anti-government protesters with batons on the sidelines of state-sanctioned rallies to mark the 30th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover. The counter-demonstrations were the opposition’s first major show of force on Tehran’s streets in nearly two months.

Maybe we should take the conservative stand and say that Iran has wmds with the intention of using them against us and then attack them.
