U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, released the following statement on the protests in Iran:

"Authorities in Iran have shut down the nation's internet in an attempt to silence protesters and have callously referred to demonstrators as "thugs.' Reports indicate at least a dozen people have been killed, more injured, and over 1000 have been arrested. I stand with those who are protesting peacefully and condemn the Iranian government's crackdown on its own citizens."
