The former mayor of New York City spoke passionately about the need for regime change in Iran, calling NCRI the biggest threat to the theocratic regime, whom he described as “maniacs” and likened him to the mob.
“They are not just religious maniacs, they are just ordinary criminals, they are criminals, they are thieves,” he said. “To me, mullahs are like the people who ran the mafia, the people I prosecuted who ran the mafia and extorted their people, the Italian-American people and subdued them, except this is on a much larger scale, and the Ayatollah is like the boss of the mafia. “
