SHORT THREAD

1)
 @NordrumLars is being heavily criticized for gifting #Iran's regime with economic incentives despite the mullahs' brutal crackdown in response to #IranProtests.

Nordrum thanks Esfandyar Batmanghelidj (@yarbatman), a known #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist.
2)
 This is Batmanghelidj alongside Hamid Baeidinejad (@baeidinejad), Iran’s Ambassador to the UK at the regime's London Embassy on Oct. 18, 2018, during a session with members of the British & Iranian business community focusing on propaganda against U.S. sanctions.
3)
 For those interested, this thread sheds light on Batmanghelidj and proves why is a Iranian regime apologist/lobbyist.

1)
 Meet @snarwani, a known #Iran apologist/lobbyist going the distance to whitewash the mullahs’ atrocious crimes in the brutal crackdown against #IranProtests.

Not surprised considering her being so fond of @JZarif & Tehran’s chief lobbyist @tparsi.
2)
 She talks about “security”, yet she won’t mention the fact that ruthlessly attacking protesters is how Iran’s mullahs define “security”.

Video from Gorgan, northern Iran

WARNING - DISTURBING FOOTAGE
3)
 She claims Iranians “support their government’s regional role”…
In latest #IranProtests, Iranians were chanting:

“Death to @Khamenei_ir”

and

“Not Gaza! Not Lebanon! My life for Iran!” in clear opposition to the regime & its regional role.
