THREAD

1)
Let’s talk about out how the @nytimes, again, becomes a devoted mouthpiece of #Iran’s regime.
2)
Read how NYT begins this piece by placing all blames on U.S. President Donald Trump.
3)
More of Tehran’s talking points. Compare them to tweets by @JZarif, known as Iran’s chief apologist.
4)
When NYT says “finding ways to contain such regimes” they are referring to appeasement.
Reminder:
Chamberlain appeased Hitler, leading to World War II & over 60 million dead.
Hitler was a dictator. Iran’s regime is ruled by dictators.
5)
NYT continues:
“… the nuclear deal President Barack Obama and five other nations struck with Iran in 2015 was a model of diplomacy and coalition-building.”

Here’s a thread reminding of the dreadful Obama years:
6)
More on how Obama appeased Iran’s mullahs:
"Barack Obama eventually fired the storied Marine general for what Mattis believes were his insistent warnings about the Iranian threat."

7)
NYT:
[The JCPOA] “forestalled Iran’s nuclear arms program…”

Salehi, head of #Iran's Atomic Energy Org:
"We did not fill the Arak heavy water reactor with cement."
"We had already purchased pipes similar to those filled... Only Khamenei knew."
8)
Of course, NYT will not remind its readers that even former U.S. secretary of state John Kerry said the Obama administration knew Iran would be using JCPOA money to fund terrorism.

9)
A reminder for NYT on how Iran’s regime has been violating the JCPOA since day one.

10)
This is the entire objective/complaint of the NYT Editorial Board (further parroting Iran’s talking points).
11)
Read how NYT dilutes, whitewashes & literally justifies Iran’s continued resorting to terrorism.
12)
NYT continues:
“the Trump admin has been left isolated…”

Reminder:
"The EU told Iran that it would put the issue of Iranian non-compliance into the agreement’s formal dispute mechanism if the next Iranian move away from the deal is significant."
theguardian.com/world/2019/sep…
13)
Further signs of NYT calling for nothing but appeasing Iran’s mullahs.

Reminder:
Trump sought talks with Iran during the UNGA. Tehran, however, raised conditions & demanded all sanctions lifted.
14)
Even the Europeans encouraged Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to meet with President Trump.
Rouhani could do nothing but laugh in a ridiculous manner.
15)
A few reminders about how Obama’s deal allowed Iran to wreak even more havoc after receiving $150 billion in credit & $1.7 billion in cash.
This money belonged to the Iranian people, not the mullahs’ regime, and Obama had no right to unfreeze them.

16)
And how did Iran use that money?
Of course, NYT won’t mention this.
17)
“… US Treasury under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, Sigal Mandelker, condemned the Iranian government’s behaviour on several fronts, including funding illicit activities and supporting terrorism.”

18)
“Iran is sending advanced weapons and military advisers to Yemen’s rebel Houthi movement…”
reuters.com/article/us-yem…
19)
“Iran is spending billions of dollars on its weapons programs and supporting terrorism around the globe while it ignores the basic needs of its people…”
foxnews.com/world/iran-spe…
20)
NYT claims Trump’s maximum pressure policy is not working.
Reminder:
reuters.com/article/us-cer…
21)
“Iranian oil exports have dropped in July to as low as 100,000 barrels per day (bpd)…”
reuters.com/article/us-oil…
22)
Another reminder for NYT:
Hezbollah is begging.
Good.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
23)
“The golden days are gone and will never return,” said a fighter with an Iranian-backed militia in Syria who recently lost a third of his salary and other benefits. “Iran doesn’t have enough money to give us.”

24)
Iran’s regime is desperate, failing to
-lure the US into a full-blown war to then play the innocent game
-convince the Europeans to provide incentives & bailout packages
-find a strategy to bypass U.S. sanctions targeting its regime & the terrorist Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)
25)
My conclusion:
U.S. President Donald Trump’s maximum pressure policy is working.
As Iran’s tactics are failing, NYT & other #FakeNews media outlets, are also failing in their measures against Trump.
As a result, they resort to the low of becoming Tehran’s mouthpiece.
