The rally coincided with the Free Iran World Summit 2023, held at the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) headquarters in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Over 500 prominent political figures, including lawmakers, former presidents, prime ministers, ministers, and senior officials from the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, attended the Summit, along with distinguished MEPs. The event was a powerful show of support for the Iranian people&#8217;s democratic aspirations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Free Iran World Summit and the Paris rally on 1st July 2023 held notable significance due to their successful execution despite the Iranian regime&#8217;s attempts to thwart them. In an effort to halt these events, the Iranian regime attempted to strike deals with Western nations. It even resorted to bargaining over European hostages it had in custody, but these attempts proved unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"A Glance at 2023 Free Iran World Summit\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_xo9LRVG3vdY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fxo9LRVG3vdY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xo9LRVG3vdY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M18S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-07-09T17:00:38Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_xo9LRVG3vdY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fxo9LRVG3vdY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">A Glance at 2023 Free Iran World Summit<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xo9LRVG3vdY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fxo9LRVG3vdY%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"A Glance at 2023 Free Iran World Summit\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"A Glance at 2023 Free Iran World Summit\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theparliamentmagazine.eu\/news\/article\/free-iran-world-summit-2023-onward-to-a-democratic-republic\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 9:30 AM CET<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">European Official: EU Likely To Keep Missile Sanctions on Iran<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__full_width__ekUdw body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__paragraph__2-BtD\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-testid=\"paragraph-0\">WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) &#8211;

We have shown strength of purpose over Ukraine. But we have an equally strong national security interest in the Middle East and North Africa, Europe\u2019s dysfunctional near abroad, where Britain has important equities and strong friendships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran lies\u00a0at the heart of Middle Eastern instability and conflict. It also seeks to spread disorder globally &#8211; including in the United Kingdom. We have tolerated this far too long.
