| General George Casey |
General George Casey, Chief of Staff of the United States Army and Commanding General of MNF-I (2004 to 2007) was among the guest of honors at the Paris rally on June 13, 2015. The gathering was held honor the martyrs and political prisoners in Iran. Gen. Casey addressed a crowd of over 100,000 Iranian exiled at the Grand Iranian Resistance Gathering and began his speech by saying: 'It’s an honor for me to be here with you again this year as you continue your struggle against the regime in Tehran. I’d like to use my brief moments with you this evening to reemphasize a point that we made in our statement, and that’s the point about Iran’s destabilizing role in the region. And it’s that role that I have personal experience with during my time in Iraq between 2004 to 2007. In our statement we said it is by now beyond dispute that the regime in Tehran is fomenting instability and conflict throughout the region, most notably in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. And we went on to say that Iran’s destructive role throughout the region must be curbed and deterred.
