While Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly, painting his nation as a victim of terrorism, a vocal crowd of over a thousand protesters outside the UN headquarters vehemently denounced him and his regime. Chanting slogans like “They are terrorists. They must go!” and waving flags of the resistance, former officials including ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg joined the demonstrators. Giuliani characterized the regime as murderers and terrorists, drawing a parallel to Hitler, while Kellogg advocated for a secular, non-nuclear Republic of Iran. Former U.S. Ambassador Marc Ginsberg urged Congress to pass the Maximum Support Act to cripple Iran’s resources and support internet freedom for the Iranian people to organize. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, sent a video message emphasizing that the Iranian people have rejected all forms of dictatorship and that their voice of protest against the “religious fanatics” occupying Iran’s UN seat is being heard. Alireza Jafarzadeh of the NCRI Washington D.C. office stressed that the regime is incapable of reform and that true change must come from within the Iranian people, asserting that sanctions and pressure are the only effective external solutions. The overarching message from the rally was a clear call for the liberation of Iran from its current leadership, highlighting the severe oppression and ongoing executions of its citizens.
