Former Florida Congressman Allen West absolutely exploded over the Iran nuclear deal during a fiery speech at a “Stop Iran Deal Rally” in New York City’s Times Square on Wednesday. The event, billed as the “Stop Iran Rally” consisted mainly of pro-Israel supporters, though organizers said it represents Americans of all faiths and political convictions.
Protesters, including Republican politicians, Jewish and evangelical Christian groups, chanted “Kill the deal”, which they denounced as a threat to Israel and global security.
“This Iran deal is, in fact, a crime against humanity”.
“We know what the outcome of this deal will be”, Glick said to the crowd.
“This is a God-awful deal, this must be rejected”.
A spokesperson for the organizers said protesters had packed an entire block on both sides of Seventh Avenue.
The rally is the start of a 60-day campaign to protest the deal recently struck between the US and some of its allies and Iran. He said he believed democracy was “ignored” because the Obama administration negotiated the deal without Congressional input.
At the rally, Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus, said he was “opposing the deal as a liberal Democrat”.
The protest came as US Secretary of State and other senior officials briefed members of Congress about the deal behind closed doors. The Republican strongly criticized President Barack Obama’s leadership on the issue, calling him a “weakling” and “charlatan”. “Iran has been killing Americans for 36 years”, it said.

Many Iranians around the world celebrated the deal in the streets throughout Iran and around the world through social media, tweeting messages like “I love today”, and “I won’t forget today, this is out generation’s “moon landing” moment”.
