Trump lawyer says Iran must be isolated

Warsaw: Trump lawyer and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday attended a protest of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) also known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian exile group calling for regime change in Iran.

About a thousand people gathered in front of the National stadium in Warsaw to protest against the Iranian government.

Before the event Giuliani gave a news conference calling for Iran to be "ostracized" due to its "support of terrorism".

Referring to US president Trump Giuliani stressed that he was "not here in my capacity as a representative of anyone else. I have a lot of different clients including a very famous one".

Poland is currently holding, jointly with the U.S., an international conference on the Middle East.

Initially it was billed by President Donald Trump's administration as an Iran-focused meeting.

The organizers have significantly broadened its scope to include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the fight against the Islamic State group, Syria and Yemen.

The shift was designed in part to boost participation after some invitees balked at an Iran-centric event when many in Europe are trying to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal after last year's U.S. withdrawal.
