FOX NEWS: It is a blunt call for regime change in Tehran.
The largest gathering of the Iranian resistance starts Friday with the annual convention of the Council of Resistance of Iran. The sponsors expect 100,000 people to assemble in a massive hall outside Paris for hours of speeches, demonstrations and protests aimed at toppling the Iranian government.
"I am confident that the mullahs' religious dictatorship ruling Iran will not last in the 21st century and will be overthrown," predicts the group's leader, Maryam Rajavi. "It really begs logic to expect this religious dictatorship, the founder of terrorism and fundamentalism in the whole of the region and is seeking nuclear weapons, to take international policy hostage, to continue and endure."
In an exclusive Fox News interview, her first for American television, Rajavi methodically laid out what she sees as Tehran's intentions: to spread radical fundamentalism, obtain a nuclear weapon and do whatever it can to eliminate opponents, including continued executions of her supporters to silence the opposition.
"The mullahs do not represent the Iranian people," she said. "What the Iranian people are yearning for and what represents them, is an Iran which the Iranian resistance envisions: an Iran which is free, democratic and where the ballot box speaks, a non-nuclear Iran, with gender equality, where women and men and youth enjoy equal rights and do not threaten and endanger the world with war and challenges." » | Eric Shawn | Friday, June 27, 2014
