IRAN: Rouhani staunchly defends Assad’s atrocities in New York
Mullah Hassan Rouhani, the President of Iran, hideously supported the atrocities of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad at the General Assembly and during his other remarks in New York. He portrayed the regime’s lethal meddling in the region as combating terrorism. This brazen defense of the greatest crime of the century, especially in a place where diplomatic rhetoric is prevalent, again drives home this reality that Rouhani is no different from Khamenei or other factions of this dictatorship when it comes to the fundamental policies of this regime such as export of terrorism and fundamentalism; a point that the Iranian Resistance has been making from the first day.

Bring attention back to Iran’s human rights abuses

Iran opposition group: Expel Rouhani from the UN
The main Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has strongly condemned the presence of Hassan Rouhani, President of the religious fascism ruling Iran, in New York and at the United Nations General Assembly. The NCRI said on Sunday in a statement that Rouhani is among the most senior officials involved in the production of the nuclear bomb, 120,000 political executions, and warmongering and slaughter in the region. This regime does not represent the Iranian people and its leaders, from whatever faction, should face justice for crimes against humanity in Iran. Iran’s seat at the United Nations should be given to its people and their legitimate resistance.
Ken Blackwell: Withdraw The Welcome Mat For Rouhani At The UN
