Thousands of Iranian-Americans, supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), are expected gather in Manhattan on Tuesday and Wednesday to protest the presence of Iranian regime president Masoud Pezeshkian at the United Nations General Assembly, denouncing Tehran’s human rights record and its advancing nuclear program.

The two-day rally at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, across from UN headquarters, is being organized by the Organization of Iranian American Communities (OIAC) and sponsored by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). 

Organizers say participants will travel from 46 U.S. states, making it the largest Iranian diaspora gathering in the United States to coincide with the UNGA in recent years.
