Key points in Mr Obama's speech:
In the months ahead the US must use all its resources to encourage reform in North Africa and the Middle East
Will cut $1bn of debt for a democratic Egypt and work to create Enterprise Funds to invest in Tunisia and Egypt
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must lead a political transition or "get out of the way"
US will continue to insist the Iranian people deserve their universal rights, and a government that does not smother their aspirations
Mass arrests and brute force in Bahrain are at odds with the universal rights of Bahrain's citizens.
The borders of Israel and a Palestinian state should be based on pre-1967 borders with agreed swaps
