‘A freer Iran is on the horizon’

Speech by Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the Grand Gathering of the Iranian Resistance.

The Washington Times, July 17, 2017 - I am so overjoyed by the focus of this conference, the theme of this conference, the hashtag of this conference. #Free Iran.

It’s been a long road, and there is still a few more miles to travel. And the road has been littered by the blood of your sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, relatives and friends. That book contains 20,000. There have been over 120,000 that have been martyred. … So let’s just take a moment to think about them because we wouldn’t be here today without them. We also wouldn’t be here today without the leadership of Madame Rajavi through the difficult times and the good times and the horrible times. She has always remained hopeful that we could stand up and say free Iran.

Under President Trump’s leadership, I believe he can help us rid the Iranian people of the oppression that has subjected them for so long. You only need to read his speech in Saudi Arabia to see that he is laser-focused on the danger of Iran, not just to the freedom of the region, but the freedom of the world. He understands how it would be extraordinarily dangerous for the world to have a nuclear Iran. He realizes how dangerous for the world it is to have an Ayatollah who is a theocratic dictator and a madman. And he also realizes, as we do, that the only way we’re going to have stability in the Middle East and stability in the world is exactly the theme of your conference: a free Iran, built on the principles that we all share. You stand for freedom of religion, you stand for freedom for women, you stand for free elections, you stand for the rule of law, you stand for respecting human dignity and human rights. That’s what we need in Iran, and that’s why you’re the hope of Iran….
