\u201cI Was Subjected to Torture and Systematic Repression.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On September 22, thousands of Iranians gathered in front of the UN headquarters in New York: a united voice for freedom and regime change.\u00a0Coinciding with the UN General Assembly in New York, thousands of Iranians and their supporters assembled outside the UN headquarters. The message was clear: neither mullah nor shah \u2013 Iran must have a democratic republic, based on Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<\/p>\n

The gathering, organized by the Organization of Iranian American Communities (OIAC)<\/em>, became the largest Iranian demonstration ever held in the United States. Participants from more than 40 states had previously arranged memorials, street exhibitions, and actions to draw attention to the more than 1,800 executions carried out under President Masoud Pezeshkian alone.<\/p>\n

Iranian-Americans and Dissidents Rallied Against ‘Murderous Regime Agents’ As Iran’s President Addressed UNGA<\/h3>\n

\"Fox-News\"<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/a>\u00a0delivered his first address to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, accusing the United States and Israel of “savage aggression,” thousands of Iranian Americans and dissidents massed outside the building to denounce what they called the hypocrisy of the UN for giving Tehran\u2019s rulers a platform.<\/p>\n

Inside the hall, Pezeshkian claimed June\u2019s\u00a0U.S. airstrikes on Iran\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0nuclear facilities amounted to a “grave betrayal of diplomacy” and a violation of international law. He said the attacks killed civilians, scientists and intellectuals, while insisting Iran “never sought weapons of mass destruction.”<\/p>\n

Outside the U.N., however, the message was very different. Protesters waving Iranian flags and holding placards declared that Pezeshkian did not represent the Iranian people.<\/p>\n

Is Democracy on the Horizon for Iran? Exiled Parliamentarian Weighs In<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What could and should Iran look like after the rule of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is 86 years old? Will a third Supreme Leader be appointed for authority over all aspects of Iranian society by the Assembly of Experts, as has been the case since 1979? Or will a transition to a democracy that separates religious authority from political authority emerge?<\/p>\n

NTD discussed the topic with Ali Safavi, a member of Iran\u2019s Parliament in Exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and President of Near East Policy Research (NEPR), a consulting and policy analysis firm in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n
