Last year, Rouhani\u2019s Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, had a trip to France, just before holding the gathering, and over extensive debates demanded the Iran Resistance Grand Gathering to be abrogated. In spite of all their attempts, the regime\u2019s agents have always failed against the determinate supporters of the Iranian resistance and the resolute organizers of the Free Iran Gathering and each gathering was held more successful than the previous one.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2018\/06\/05\/democratic-alternati-annual-grand-gathering-iranians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran Freedom<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Iran&#8217;s Democratic Alternative and the Importance of This Year\u2019s Grand Gathering of Iranians in Paris on June 30:\u00a0 The Iranian Resistance movement&#8217;s\u00a0annual gathering, held in <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/2018\/06\/05\/the-importance-of-irans-democratic-alternative-grand-gathering-in-paris\/\" title=\"The Importance of Iran&#8217;s Democratic Alternative Grand Gathering in Paris\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":10391,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[454,34],"tags":[457,456,131],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10390"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10390"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10398,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10390\/revisions\/10398"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
