SHORT THREAD

1)
Simon Tisdall has an article pushing #Iran’s narratives & trying to score cheap political points against U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump shouldn’t have nixed the 2015 nuclear deal
-shouldn’t have killed Qasim Soleimani
-and his maximum pressure will backfire
2)
Tisdall’s argument relies on the claim of Iran abiding by the 2015 nuclear deal & Trump nixing a perfectly good agreement that was working (!)

Let’s listen to a senior Iranian official explain how they have been cheating on the deal all along.
3)
Tisdall criticizes Trump for killing Qasem Soleimani.

Of course, Tisdall won’t get into the fact that Soleimani, as the world’s number one terrorist, commanded militias that killed, wounded & displaced millions of people across the Middle East.

RED FLAG

1)
@PeteButtigieg, the Iowa caucus "winner," is endorsed & advised by @vali_nasr, a known #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist who describes Qassem Soleimani as a “general” & “bureaucrat” rather than the terrorist he is.

Let’s get to know more about Vali Nasr.
@PeteButtigieg @vali_nasr 2)
Nasr teamed up with @AliVaez, another known Tehran apologist, to write an NYT piece desperately begging for negotiations with the US.

Vaez is a known protégé of former Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Vaez is also advising Buttigieg.
@PeteButtigieg @vali_nasr @AliVaez 3)
And here are Nasr's views about Iranian President @HassanRouhani & Foreign Minister @JZarif, claiming they enjoy support among the Iranian people.

Quick thread on #NancyPelosiFakeNews, because I've been having a few questions on it.

BLUF: critics of the Iranian regime launched it, President Trump boosted it.

Some pushing by hyperactive accounts, but it doesn't look massively manipulated so far.
This thread by @conspirator0 gives a good rundown: hashtag starts in Iranian circles, content in Persian and English. Launch time was consistent with a UK location (around 0930 GMT).

The hashtag started here, as a response to @RNCResearch's take on a clip from a Pelosi interview.

The Persian post came first, English explanation over an hour later.

Note the difference in retweets.

This video is a compilation of the ridiculous remarks & lies aired by certain DC politicians & MSM about #Iran & the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

Please watch to the end of this 1:51 video & you’ll realize that #IraniansDetestSoleimani.
2)
Now let’s see a few examples from mainstream media.
The @nytimes described Soleimani as a
- “popular general”
- “national war hero”
- “Iran’s intrigue”
3)
@ForeignPolicy described Soliemani as a “patriotic moderate” and claims his killing “Has United Iranians Like Never Before.”

Iran apologists/lobbyists claim “large crowds” turned out for Soleimani’s funeral.

The thread below debunks their claims.

A simple question for certain DC politicians & MSM who glorify Soleimani & describe him as a "popular general," a "divine" figure & a "national war hero"...

Why are Iranians tearing down posters of such a beloved man (!) & calling him a terrorist?

#IraniansDetestSoleimani
Jan 12 - Tehran, #Iran
Protesters torch a large poster of two terrorists:

#IraniansDetestSoleimani
Jan 12 - Tehran, #Iran

WEEKEND ROUNDUP: In case you missed it, catch up on our non-stop coverage of #Iran including the real motives behind the #SoleimaniAssassination to cater to pro-Israel neocon war hawks after Israel's attempt to kill him failed. @_whitneywebb mintpressnews.com/dubious-offici…
"The fingerprints of Israeli intelligence, the #Mossad, are unmistakably present in the assassination of #Soleimani. It is plausible that the attack on Soleimani’s convoy was a joint CIA-Mossad operation." #Iran. @RamzyBaroud and @RomanaRubeo mintpressnews.com/israel-mossad-…
More from #MintPress @mikopeled: "This assassination, which was an act of cowardice, one may safely assume was concocted by Benjamine Netanyahu, another corrupt, reckless coward who is fighting for his political life." mintpressnews.com/us-assassinati…

SPECIAL REPORT: A new study finds that bots and MAGA supporters have been pushing the #IraniansDetestSoleimani hashtag. By @AlanRMacLeod mintpressnews.com/study-bots-mag…
The hashtag #IraniansDetestSoleimani remained one of the most popular amongst users in the US this week. But similar viral sentiment was not expressed across the Middle East, least of all on Iranian Twitter, leaving one to wonder, who are these Iranian Soleimani haters?
Professor Marc Owen Jones of Hamad bin Khalifa University in Qatar studied 60,000 tweets from nearly 10,000 accounts using the hashtag and found that the most common phrases in those users’ biographies were “Make America Great Again” and “Trump."

How Dangerous is the Situation Between the U.S. and #Iran?

I joined @vali_nasr and @MicheleDDunne for a debate over Trump's decision to kill #IRGC-QF Cmdr Qasem #Soleimani, the fallout, and what will likely come next. Full episode video at the link:
@vali_nasr @MicheleDDunne The idea that the US lacked justification for taking out #Soleimani is bonkers. It's not even a matter of how imminent an attack is; it's all the American blood already on his hands. I explain 👇
#Iran #Iraq
@vali_nasr @MicheleDDunne As I explain, "we're at a point right now where most mainstream media in the US and the talking points among leading Democrats - including presidential candidates - are more pro-Iranian regime than the Iranian people are." #Iran #Iraq #Soleimani 👇

Is anyone surprised that guy who is the CEO of Foundation for Defense of Democracies which is funded by Sheldon Adelson (who wants to nuke Iran) is trying to get this trending? #Iran #IranUsa #IraniansDetestSoleimani

Mind you he was trying to get it trending 2 days before Soleimani was assassinated

I am pretty sure it is a coincidence though.
And then you have this bot like activity spamming the #freeiran2020 hashtag along side #IraniansDetestSoleimani it all very much resembles #warpropaganda #iran #IranvsUSA #IranWar #NoIranWar

1)
@farnazfassihi, a known #Iran apologist with a history of publishing @JZarif talking points in the @nytimes, continues to praise the killed mass murderer Qasem Soleimani.

Her latest lie: "over 30 km" march in Ahvaz.

#IraniansDetestSoleimani
@farnazfassihi @JZarif @nytimes 2)
To be fair, here’s the footage.

At first, one thinks: OMG!
@farnazfassihi @JZarif @nytimes 3)
This is longest distance filmed from above, clearly showing the beginning & the end of the crowd. The entire distance is 1.5 km.

All the while, Fassihi publishes this lie in NYT:
“over 30 kilometers”
