NEW YORK — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, addressing thousands of protesters near the United Nations on Wednesday, challenged President Barack Obama to take stronger action against Iran and the threat of it becoming a nuclear power.
“If you’re going to support freedom in Libya, why not freedom in Iran?” Gingrich asked the crowd as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke to the U.N. General Assembly. “If you’re going to support freedom in Egypt, why not freedom in Iran?”
