U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States hopes the outcome of the Iranian election reflects the "genuine will and desire of the Iranian people", VOA reported

Speaking in Canada Saturday, Clinton said the Obama administration had been closely following the election.  Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner by a large margin, but the opposition has fiercely protested against the results, alleging major voting irregularities.

Clinton said the administration is carefully monitoring the situation as it unfolds.

The Obama administration has indicated it plans to engage more with Iran, particularly over the country's controversial nuclear program.
