Meet @MattDuss, foreign policy advisor to @SenSanders.

Duss pushes a talking point of #Iran regime apologists/lobbyists about U.S. sanctions making it harder for Iranians to get medicine.

All the while, Tehran is ready to send medicine to Venezuela, via Iran state media.

How did I become suspicious of @MattDuss' intentions?

He was RTd by chief #Iran regime lobbyist @tparsi.

Furthermore, the first line of this tweet is a claim without any source & further shows he is only pushing an agenda of @JZarif & his apologists/lobbyists in the West.

Iran’s state-run ILNA news agency:
"Iran exports $25 million of medicine & equipment to Iraq each year and has the capacity of up to $200 million."

To @MattDuss:

#Iran’s Red Crescent said it is “necessary” to provide aid to the people in Yemen.

So, Iran does have enough money for its own people’s medical needs.

It just chooses not to.

Any thoughts Matta?

To @MattDuss:

Iran's regime is allowing Shabnam Nematzadeh, the daughter of a regime insider, run an import/export pharmaceutical company… all the while the mullahs lie about the U.S. sanctioning medicine & medical equipment…

To @MattDuss:

“… Shabnam Nematzadeh, the daughter of the former Mines & Industry Minister Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh in Rouhani’s cabinet, was found to be hoarding a stock of medication worth 50 billion rials (approx. $500,000).”
