Summary: AP reports that a large crowd of demonstrators gathered directly outside the United Nations General Assembly to voice their opposition to the visiting Iranian delegation. The report focuses on the scene itself, emphasizing the flags and chants as a visible challenge to the regime’s international standing.

The demonstrators rejected the legitimacy of the Iranian delegation and condemned the United Nations for providing the regime with a platform.

Summary: During Pezeshkian’s first UN address, Iranian Americans and dissidents massed outside the UN to denounce Tehran’s rulers and the UN for granting them a platform. Survivors of regime prisons and leaders of Iranian-American communities voiced strong support for NCRI. The rally demanded more international pressure on Iran and recognition of the opposition. This Fox News report contrasts President Pezeshkian’s address inside the UN, where he accused the US and Israel of “savage aggression,” with the massive protest outside. The demonstrators declared that the UN seat rightfully belongs to the people of Iran and their true representatives, the NCRI, not the “murderous regime agents.” The article includes powerful testimonials from participants, including a former political prisoner from Evin Prison who vowed to be the voice of those she lost, and an organizer who stated that attendees came from 40 U.S. states to support the Iranian Resistance and condemn the regime’s crimes against humanity.

Summary: Thousands gathered in New York during UNGA to demand regime change. Maryam Rajavi, in a video message, emphasized “Overthrow and democratic change” as the only solution. U.S. dignitaries including former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Gen. Tod Wolters, Carla Sands, Sam Brownback, and others voiced support for NCRI. The rally highlighted the growing executions under Pezeshkian, the rejection of monarchy, and Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan as the credible alternative. Breitbart’s coverage emphasizes the scale of the diaspora gathering, noting that thousands of NCRI supporters came to New York to denounce President Masoud Pezeshkian’s appearance at the United Nations General Assembly. The core demand of the protesters was for the international community to recognize the Iranian people’s right to overthrow the theocracy. The report frames the event as a significant show of force for the opposition movement, which actively rejects the regime’s legitimacy on the global stage.
NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi, in a video message broadcast to the crowd, declared, “With your powerful presence in front of the United Nations, the world sees that you represent the people of Iran. You are the true voice of the Iranian people before the United Nations, not the president of the Supreme Leader.”
Her message was uncompromising. “The seat of the Iranian people at the United Nations must not be given to a regime of executions and massacres. The message is
very simple and clear: Overthrow and democratic change — a democratic republic with freedom and democratic rights,” she said.
‘
Rajavi revealed that 1,817 people have been executed under Pezeshkian’s presidency in just 14 months. She warned the international community must abandon its failed “engagement” policy with Tehran. “We want neither a mullah nor a Shah,” she stated to the large crowd. “The era of all forms of dictatorship, whether religious or monarchical, is over. Our message for Iran’s future is simple: the sovereignty of the people — the people’s republic.” On the UN’s 80th anniversary, protesters warned that the institution risks betraying its founding principles if it allows “a regime of executions and massacres” to claim Iran’s seat.
