Vienna, Austria—March 4, 2024: Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held a rally simultaneously with the IAEA Board of Governors meeting against the appeasement policy toward the Mullahs’ regime. Iranian community in Vienna expressed their solidarity with the nationwide Iranian people’s uprising.

In addition, freedom-loving Iranians in Vienna called on the IAEA to refer the Iranian regime’s dossier to the UN Security Council and activate the Iran nuclear deal’s snapback mechanism, thereby re-imposing sanctions outlined in six previous UN Security Council resolutions.

During the Iranian freedom-loving rally in Vienna, concurrently with the session of the Board of Governors, Mr. Leo Dautzenberg, a former representative of the Federal Parliament of Germany, delivered a speech to the demonstrators.

Mr. Dautzenberg said, “Recent reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency indicate that the regime continues uranium enrichment at high concentrations. The regime also continues to develop its ballistic missile program and will be able to jeopardize the entire region and Europe with nuclear weapons using satellite technology. The threat of the Iranian regime obtaining a nuclear bomb is an urgent global danger.”

The former MP criticized the ineffectiveness of previous nuclear negotiations, asserting that decades of appeasement had allowed the regime to clandestinely expand its nuclear program in military facilities that remain uncontrolled.

Mr. Dautzenberg underscored the importance of finding a new strategy to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions, noting that sanctions against Russia and Iran had proven increasingly ineffective and easily circumvented. He called for decisive action, including the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization and diplomatic measures to counter the regime’s illicit activities.

He emphasized, “For years, the mullahs’ regime has been trying to mislead people and public opinion in the West with its horrible policy and disinformation campaign. Many who present themselves as ‘Iran experts’ support the regime’s policy in the West and Germany.”

Iranian Resistance supporters demanded to adopt a firm policy against the religious fascism ruling Iran to prevent bombings, terrorism, and warmongering. Also, they called for shutting down Iran’s regime embassy as a center of espionage in Austria.
