Iranian dissidents rally in France for the overthrow of Iran’s theocracy
LE BOURGET, France — Thousands of supporters of a dissident Iranian opposition group rallied here Saturday for the overthrow of #Iran’s theocratic government at an event that featured speeches by several Trump administration allies — including Newt Gingrich and Rudolph Giuliani — as well as the former head of Saudi intelligence.
The boisterous event, held annually in this town just north of Paris, was organized by the controversial National Council of Resistance of Iran, a France-based group of Iranian exiles that brings dozens of current and former U.S., European and Middle Eastern officials together to speak out in support of regime change in Tehran.
Mr. Trump is “laser focused on the danger of Iran to the freedom of the world,” said Mr. Giuliani, who was perceived by many at Saturday’s rally to be an emissary for Mr. Trump, despite holding no formal cabinet position in the administration.
Unlike the Obama administration, the former New York City mayor said, Mr. Trump “is not in a state of denial” on Iran.
“Iran must be free!” added Mr. Gingrich, a Republican former House speaker, who rallied the crowd by condemning Tehran’s record of human rights abuses.
