Obama 'troubled' by Iran violence US President Barack Obama says he is "deeply troubled" by violence in Iran following last week's disputed presidential elections. Mr Obama called on Iran's leaders to respect free speech and the democratic process, and said he would continue pursuing tough dialogue with Iran. His comments came after hundreds of thousands defied a government ban and attended an opposition rally in Tehran. At least one person was killed after shots were fired during the protest. In his first public comments on the situation in Iran, Mr Obama said: "I think that the democratic process, free speech, the ability for folks to peacefully dissent, all those are universal values and need to be respected. "Whenever I see violence perpetrated on people who are peacefully dissenting, and whenever the American people see that, I think they're rightfully troubled." Opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi says Iran's vote was fixed. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the claim, but Mr Mousavi has launched a legal appeal against news.bbc.co.uk
