US President Donald Trump’s lawyer and former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani is calling on a conference on the Middle East to take a “firm stance” on Iran to press its government to adopt a democratic course.
Giuliani makes the comments to a few hundred participants at a protest by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, also known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, an Iranian exile group, hours before an international conference on the Middle East opens in Warsaw.
He says he hopes the conference, just like the US government, will be firm on Iran “so that we don’t do business with them, so that we isolate them, so that we do the best that we can to get them to change their policies, and if they don’t change their policies, to change the regime.”
He stresses to reporters he was speaking in a personal capacity.
