Iran rally seeks prez hopefuls

- Richard Johnson rjohnson@nypost.com @HeadlineJo­hnson

ORGANIZERS of the July 22 “Stop Iran Now” rally in Times Square are disappoint­ed that none of the many US presidenti­al candidates have yet agreed to participat­e.

Speakers include Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, ( inset) former Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau, ex-CIA Director James Woolsey, former Congressma­n Allen West and “The French Connection” actor Tony Lo Bianco.

“We invited all of the presidenti­al candidates,” a source involved with the rally told me. “Of course, Hillary [ Clinton] won’t show, butwe are hoping the Republican candidates come because Iran is an issue which all decent people must stand up against.”

The Obama Administra­tion has been working for months on an agreement that critics say will allow Iran to continue developing nuclearwea­pons. A June 30 deadline for the agreement has passed, but Secretary of State John Kerry has continued negotiatio­ns. Rally participan­ts will call for a return to the original US demands for “unfettered inspection­s of all known and to be uncovered military/ nuclear research sites/ facilities at any time, unannounce­d,” as well as a surrender of Iran’s weaponsgra­de uranium.

It also calls to reinstate all sanctions against Iran.

Since Iran refuses to recognize Israel and supports the Hezbollah terrorists, the rally is being organized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Zionist Organizati­on of America and other Jewish groups.
