Robert Joseph, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security joined the Online Free Iran<\/a> Global Summit. In his remarks, Amb. Joseph said, \u201cThe end of the religious dictatorship is in sight. They know the economy is in shambles the regime has nowhere to turn. The mullahs know they have lost all legitimacy. The Iranian people are the main threat to the regime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) managed to hold this year\u2019s annual gathering<\/a> virtually on July 17.
