Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of the Iranian Regime, was initially expected to participate personally in the OPEC summit on the 8th of June in Vienna, which will be chaired by Iran. Due to the internal power struggle in Iran, the antisemite and Holocaust-denier will send a minister instead. Representatives of the Iranian regime use their appearances at international events constantly to spread their murderous ideology. The initially planned participation of Ahmadinejad at the OPEC summit reveals the Achilles' heel of the Iranian regime: The survival of the Iranian dictatorship of Ayatollahs and Revolutionary Guards strongly depends on Oil and Gas exports. In any case, a high ranking official of the Iranian regime will be present at the summit in order to coordinate its business with oil ministers of Arab despotic regimes and of populist left supporters of the Iranian regime such as Venezuela.

Those doing business with the Iranian Regime support a policy ranging from the persecution of homosexuals, women, and minorities, holocaust denial, annihilation threats against Israel, the nuclear program, to the financing of global jihadist terror. So does Austria: Despite sanctions, Austria's imports to Iran grew by nearly 400 percent during the last year.

We demand:

- No stage for the murderers of the Iranian opposition!
- No stage for representatives of an antisemitic, holocaust-denying regime!
- Crippling sanctions in the energy sector in order to prevent the Iranian regime from continuing its projects!
