US President Barack Obama accused Syrian president Bashar al-Assad of seeking Iranian aid in the brutal crackdown on his own people after a bloody day of protests left over 88 people dead.

“Instead of listening to his own people, President Assad is blaming outsiders while seeking Iranian assistance in repressing Syria’s citizens through the same brutal tactics that have been used by his Iranian allies,” Obama said in a statement.
