ICC Divided: Iranian Canadians Split Over Regime Change
About this episode
The episode discusses the division within the Iranian Canadian community regarding regime change in Iran, sparked by controversial comments from Mona Ghassani.
A fiery CBC interview with Mona Ghassani, head of the Iranian Canadian Congress, sparked outrage in the Iranian-Canadian community after she blamed U.S. sanctions and Israeli interference for Iran’s turmoil — a stance sharply at odds with the overwhelming majority who see the regime as the core problem. Her comments, met with backlash and even a CBC apology, exposed a deep rift: while the ICC promotes diplomacy and normalization, most Iranian Canadians demand regime change and accountability, rallying in massive protests. Critics now label the ICC a fringe group, calling for new organizations that truly reflect the community’s urgent call for justice and human rights.
