SHORT THREAD

1)
"Unable to openly defend the religious dictatorship in Iran, these apologists instead demonize the regime’s democratic alternative to justify appeasing the current regime."

2)
"This is not the first time that @NBCNews has quoted Daniel Benjamin (@Benjamin05055), a former State Department official and the MEK’s chief antagonist..."

The MEK is an Iranian opposition organization.

Benjamin has a record of writing pro-#Iran pieces against the MEK.
3)
The pathetic claims that the MEK has no popular base in Iran are too outlandish to deserve a response. It is unclear which scientific poll the author of the article & Benjamin rely on to make such a claim w/ respect to Iran being the record holder of per capita executions.
4)
"Why would an organization that lacks social support become the clerical regime’s main existential problem?"
5)
"Hours after the publication of the NBC article, the clerical regime’s state-run media outlets, including the Fars news agency tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), embraced it and translated it into Farsi."
