Iran reveals paranoia over opposition forces’ Free Iran rally in Paris

London, 29 Jul – Iran’s regime has tried to perpetrate the myth that there is no viable opposition to its rule, the opponents of the theocratic government say. Tehran has suggested that the Iranian Resistance, made up of groups like the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), does not have the support of the Iranian people.

This insinuates that the only choice for the West is to appease the dictatorship or declare a full-on war; which considering recent Western involvement in the Middle East is an unfavourable option.

The NCRI said: “The Free Iran gathering in Paris on July 9 punctured Tehran’s long-held narrative. According to scores of media outlets, some 100,000 Iranians and their international supporters participated in the event.”

Their supporters included influential people from around the world; former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Governor and Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean, former President of the European Commission Jose Manual Barroso, former Foreign Minister of Canada John Baird, and Prince Turki al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia.

The NCRI also reveals that risks taken by opposition forces within Iran; they smuggled messages of support to the Western media, released a video expressing support for the Resistance........http://bit.ly/2a5iHjS
