Washington, June 17: Stating that Iran's policies have kept the country from "moving forward," US has said that it actively supports Iranian student demonstrators who are demanding a political change.
"United States stands with the students, with the demonstrators, with those in Iran who are asking for more rights, who are asking for freedom, who are asking for a chance to join the modern world," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said yesterday.
Iran's policies with regard to Weapons of Mass Destruction, support for terrorism, opposition to the peace process and human rights have kept the country back from its ability to move forward, he said.
The policies have prevented it from progressing in terms of modernisation, providing jobs and dealing with some of the issues internally, Boucher said.
