IRANIAN RESISTANCE GROUP URGES REMOVAL OF TEHRAN'S THEOCRATIC REGIME AS TRUMP ADMIN WEIGHS OPTIONS

IJR. (Independent Journal review), Jul 8, 2017--  Opponents of Iran's theocratic government packed a convention center outside Paris on Saturday for a day-long event featuring prominent U.S. officials and several allies of the Trump administration, among them former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Orchestrated by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a France-based group of Iranian exiles established in 1981 that advocates for the replacement of the current Iranian government, the event was marked by reinvigorated hopes for a regime change in light of the election of President Trump.
Speaking before a crowd, Giuliani, who currently works in the private sector yet is seen as a de facto emissary for the Trump administration, declared that the president is “laser-focused on the danger of Iran to the freedom of the world.”

Giuliani, who met with NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi prior to Saturday's rally, was one of 30 former senior U.S. officials and military commanders who issued a joint statement in support of the objectives of the Iranian resistance movement. The statement read, in part:

Under the leadership of Maryam Rajavi, a Muslim woman standing for gender equality, which is an antidote to Islamic fundamentalism and extremism, [the NCRI] is working every day to bring about a tolerant, non-nuclear Iranian republic based on separation of religion and state, that will uphold the rights of all.
Iran dissidents see the Trump administration as more likely to take a tough stance on Tehran, especially in regards to the nuclear deal agreed to under the Obama administration in 2015.
