Vienna, Austria – June 11, 2025 — For the second consecutive day, coinciding with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting, freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered at Muhammad-Asad-Platz in Vienna. They raised concerns about the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions and called for immediate international action.

Outside the IAEA headquarters, protesters from the Iranian Resistance demanded the activation of snapback sanctions and the re-implementation of all United Nations Security Council resolutions to prevent the regime from acquiring nuclear weapons. Demonstrators emphasized that restrictions on Iran’s production of advanced centrifuges and uranium enrichment to near-weapons-grade levels are set to expire in October 2025, removing key obstacles to Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear arms.

Participants denounced the regime’s continued use of negotiations as a smokescreen for advancing its nuclear program and expanding its destabilizing influence in the region. Holding banners and images of NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi, they stressed the need for a firm and decisive policy from Western nations.

Protesters urged the IAEA to immediately refer Iran’s nuclear file to the UN Security Council. They called on world powers to adopt a strong stance against Tehran’s acts of terrorism, regional aggression, and intelligence operations abroad.

A key focus of the demonstration was the demand for the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Protesters also pressed the European Union to adopt stricter policies toward the regime and called for the closure of the Iranian embassy in Austria, which they described as a center for espionage.

Alongside the rally, an exhibition highlighted the regime’s escalating use of executions and its advancing nuclear activities—raising alarm over Iran’s growing threat to both human rights and international stability. Protesters displayed photographs of Abbas Kourkouri, popularly known as “Mojahed Kourkouri” in his hometown of Izeh, a political prisoner who was executed in Iran on June 11, 2025.

They condemned the execution of political prisoners, demanded accountability from the Iranian authorities, and held Tehran responsible for using capital punishment as a tool of political repression.
