It makes me wonder... what organization got the funding from GEC to run IranDisinfo
A quick look on their website, suggests that the recently defunded propaganda program, IranDisinfo is set up on Tavaana’s infrastructure.
Notice the level of incompetence that they couldn’t delete the link, so they made it white to match the background color.

How much State Dept has given to these people to fund these propaganda campaigns and how are they spending it?
To be 💯 clear... This is US tax payers money spent on targeting US citizens with propaganda and disinformation.
Another piece of evidence that proves @IranDisinfo is running on Tavaana’s infrastructure. This page is advertising Tavaana’s classes. They’re probably running the site on the same account as Tavaana. irandisinfo.org/%DA%A9%D9%84%D…
Funny enough they’re advertising “digital security” classes on this page. I feel for those people inside Iran who trust these charlatans. This page has been frozen on web.archive.org/web/2019053118…
Their infrastructure is hosted on @HostGator. I can’t and won’t go past that. I leave the rest to investigative journalists to dig in and ask questions.
Here’s the head of @Tavaana, @memarsadeghi overtly expressing on her bio that she’s connected with this infamous group. She has a long history of attacking and discrediting Iranian diaspora who aren’t pro overthrowing at any cost.
The hashtag on her bio translates to “I’m an overthrower”
Here you can see all of the articles published by @SGhasseminejad on FDD’s website are exactly the same as the articles published on irandisinfo.
What is the relationship between FDD, Tavaana and IranDisInfo? This is another question for the journalists.

Now that the true nature and the agenda of these people is exposed, I really wanna see if @bbcpersian, @IranIntl and @manototv continue to give them a platform.
Someone just sent me this screenshot of the @IranDisinfo website. What else do you need to see @Tavaana is at the root of all this? What other USG funded programs do they have that we don’t know about?
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana Here you can browse through all the posts published by @Tavaana admin on @IranDisinfo irandisinfo.org/author/adminis… -- and here's the archived version just in case they remove anything web.archive.org/web/2019060100…
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana This just keeps getting better and better... Here's a photo of @memarsadeghi of @Tavaana apparently from 2013 sitting on @IranDisinfo website.
If you're reporting on this and you leave Tavaana and Memarsadeghi out, you're doing it wrong.

@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi More Tavaana content on IranDisinfo website... It's uploaded in the 2013 directory but has the timestamp of 2018.
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi I wonder... is the root of all this attacks, @memarsadeghi having grudge against all the Iranian activists who do not agree with her extremist views?
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi Need more proof @Tavaana is running @IranDisinfo? A friend found just discovered the email address behind the account. All you need to do is to look up irandisinfo@eciviced.org on twitter.
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi What's eciviced, you asked? It's @Tavaana's mother organization.
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi Ready for another turn? What a coincidence to see @iranfarashgard material hosted on IranDisinfo, perhaps getting ready for distribution. To learn more about Farashgard, check out this detailed blog post lobelog.com/pompeo-bolton-…
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi @iranfarashgard Oh look who else is in here... @IranGateway. What a coincidence that all these groups that are supposed to be independent from each other keep their material together on one folder in one website. 🤔
@IranDisinfo @Tavaana @memarsadeghi @iranfarashgard @IranGateway The somewhat uniquely terrible taste of logo design in all these orgs, make me think that they're all running by the same person person. And guesstimate of the language and behavioral pattern makes me think @InsideIran_24 might also be the same person.
Really fascinating to see media and especially Farsi speaking media like @bbcpersian —which has given platform to @memarsadeghi many many times,— report on ItanDisinfo and leave the connection between Tavaana, memarsadeghi, and this propaganda website out. What are you afraid of?
@BBCFattahi you’re amongst the very few existing investigative journalists within the Farsi speaking media, and I have a lot of respect for you because of that. But also it means we expect more of you.
Back to the propaganda mafia... This is as smart as they can get... attacking in Farsi and then saying “jk” in English. Worried about your other fundings?
This cheap attack got me more certain about who is running all these accounts. More on that later... Need to collect more evidence :)
