"Free Iran" March: Thousands Rally Near US Capitol Demanding Regime Change

Thousands of Iranian diaspora members and supporters rallied near Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, in a demonstration organized by NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran) supporters calling for an end to the Islamic Republic. Speakers included NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley Clark, and ex-US Ambassador Carla Sands. Simultaneous demonstrations were held in Hamburg, Germany. The march highlighted the growing visibility of Iranian opposition abroad as US-Iran peace negotiations stalled over key issues including Hormuz tolls and nuclear enrichment.
