NCRI – In a speech given at the Iranian Resistance’s Free Iran rally in Paris on July 9, Former Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird stated that the Iranian regime is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world today.

Mr. Baird said: “Over the years, billions of dollars have left Tehran to sow fear, violence, death and destruction. From Assad’s war against his own people to a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, from a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington to arming Hezbollah with missiles targeting civilians in Israel, we must call the mullahs out on it.”

He cites the Iranian people, who suffer under the brutal regime daily, as the international community’s biggest ally to topple the mullahs’ dictatorship.

He said: “Make no mistake whatsoever that the people of Iran do not support this regime and they want to see it overthrown. Each and every one of us need to stand in solidarity with the people of Iran and come together and state clearly that the notion that Hassan Rouhani is a moderate or is a reformer, simply put, is a fraud.”

Tens of thousands of Iranians and their international supporters attended the “Free Iran” rally in Paris on July 9, which saw international support for the 10-point plan of Iranian opposition leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavi for a future free and democratic Iran.
