LONG THREAD

1)
 @BBC once again rushes to the support of #Iran’s mullahs by resorting to publishing cheap #FakeNews about U.S. sanctions that are crippling this regime.

“How sanctions affect Iran... in five objects”
2)
 On the issue of medicine, BBC says U.S. sanctions are resulting in shortages in Iran.

Here’s what BBC won’t talk about.

The mullahs’ state-run outlets boast about the regime’s readiness to send medicine/medical equipment to Venezuela.

 June 19: “Iran exports medicine to 30 countries”

Source: Iran’s own state media “Tehran Times”

So, Iran does have money & medicine. Corrupt officials, however, are seeking their own profits.

 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.
@mattduss @SenSanders @almostjingo @drawandstrike @steph93065 @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @SayWhenLA @rising_serpent 2)
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.

 Brian Hook, U.S. Special Representative for Iran, debunks myths regarding U.S. sanctions targeting #Iran’s regime & the terrorist-designated Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
2)
 Let’s get into some details.
While Iran’s regime & its apologists/lobbyists claim US sanctions prevent the import of medicine into Iran, the mullahs’ state-run outlets boast about the regime’s readiness to send medicine/medical equipment to Venezuela.
