@UChicago has invited Negar Mortazavi, a known & disgraced #Iran apologist/lobbyist, to discuss the ongoing #IranRevolution.
She is no voice of the Iranian people. In fact, she is close to Iran's regime & #IranLobby arm NIAC.

Listen to Negar Mortazavi run her #Iran talking points.

Negar Mortazavi has portrayed Soleimani as a "heroic underdog" killed in "cowardly fashion" and claimed Iranians were "outraged" and would mourn him in a "rare show of national unity".

Not everyone has such close access to Zarif or other #Iran officials. Only the utterly loyal and fully trusted individuals are allowed.

In September 2015, Negar Mortazavi was invited to an event where former Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani delivered a speech in New York's Hotel Hilton.
She is seen very close to Mahmoud Vaezi, minister of communication (2013-17) & Rouhani's chief of staff (2017-21).
