A few bricks short of a full load.

This expression my be cruel but @snarwani, @golnarM, @RT_com and @Medium should read this thread.
Find out more about Khamenei's foot soldiers in the West.👇 1/15
. @snarwani wrote this piece on her blog on 15th of March 2019 claiming her friend was offered cash to take down Tehran’s power grid. Sharmine Narwani has an incredible imagination capability. However, she is not academically gifted. Here is why: 2/15

41 contractors involved in providing Tehran's power grid,equipments,digital systems etc.According to Tehran Electric Energy Distribution Portal,power grid isn't controlled by a central base.
Taking down the whole power grid in Tehran by entering one single code is impossible.3/15
In a few minutes,report gets covered by @RT_com,Iranian media outlets, IRGC and MOIS websites, Press TV etc. (In English&Farsi).
Also covered by @business correspondent @golnarM. 4/15

In her imaginary/fabricated story, @snarwani claims that she doesn't want to reveal her friend's name. That is nonsense because US officials know 'who was the person they approached.'
It won't be difficult to find Kourosh as US officials showed him $250,000 in cash.🤣 5/15
Furthermore, in order to give her imaginary investigation a little bit credibility, @snarwani hyperlinks a piece from @MintPressNews run by @MnarMuh (Mnar Muhawesh), trained by Iranian clerics in Qom. MintPress is famous for publishing #FakeNews. 6/15

Moreover, @snarwani continues to bring in more unreliable sources, Trita Parsi and NIAC. However, it seems she had forgotten that information about her and her husband,funding NIAC&Trita Parsi is still available, $30,000 donation(revealed one) .👇 7/15

A bit dense!
@snarwani puts the blame on her 'friend' when it comes to why US officials gave 'Kourosh' the code despite his refusing to work on the project for the US government: "I don’t actually know why Kourosh received that level of detail..." 8/15
In won't be very difficult for an organisation established by @snarwani and her husband to make/fabricate a code or to find out the truth about it.
Nonetheless, Sharmine Narwani continues to show her article as an investigation with not a single proof/reliable sources. 9/15
The most important question here is:
Why publishing such an article now and getting covered widely by the Iranian media in just a few minutes?

Due to lack of investment in energy industry, this spring and summer, Tehran and other major cities may face unseen power cuts. Iran has stopped investing in Boushehr nuclear site but site managed to produce 5% of country's electric energy. 11/15

Furthermore, lack in investment in the sector has effected country's ability to deal with power production and shortages.Experts are warning that lack of investment by the gov will be devastating for the country in summer 2019.12/15

Reasons for not investing :
Corruption
Mismanagement
Boushehr nuclear site was only important to build a nuclear weapon
Spending billions of dollars in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq to spread malign behaviours

Despite Iraq's inability to pay for imported electricity from Iran, Tehran continues to provide Iraq with free electricity for ideological-political reasons.
This is why Khamenei's apologists in the West have started to put the blame on US so Tehran could justify power cut. 14/15
This is why @snarwani's piece was widely published in Iranian media. Famous for conspiracy theories and blaming others for domestic issues, it is likely that from now on, Iran will use the report to blame 'foreign powers' for its inability to provide people with basic needs.15/15
