Formal endorsement of a civilian uprising won't win any battles. That would make it easy for Iran to further demonize the West to their people who are ignorant due to censoring of the internet.
Iranian government controls all media in that state. Just what they would need is the American President hailing civil unrest.
Obama did come out and condemn the actions of the Basij when arresting people during their peaceful protests.
