@mahyarsorour is the Senior Legislative Assistant to @Ilhan.

@ethanazad is a staff member of @RepRashida who handles a "broad legislative portfolio, helping Tlaib’s office on foreign affairs… and government oversight."

@samira_says is a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of @RepBarbaraLee. That could potentially give her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data.

NIAC uses its foothold in Congress to issue such letters by @Ilhan, @RepBarbaraLee & @RepRaulGrijalva that was probably drafted by Iran's mullahs.
They're objecting to "the designation of Iran's Central Bank under terror authorities."

BTW, this is a quick glimpse at how the regime in Iran funds terrorism.

Trita Parsi enjoyed unprecedented access to the White House (most likely through Ben Rhodes) prior to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Considering the fact that NIAC is known to be Tehran’s lobby in the U.S., this deserves an investigation by the @FBI & @TheJusticeDept.
As far as the Iranian people are concerned, they have expressed their thoughts about NIAC through this hashtag:
#NIACLobbies4Mullahs
Addendum:
This is all the @NIACouncil crowd can muster.
@Azodiac83
@SinaToossi
@Mollahasani
@JZarif is truly wasting money on you guys because you can't find anything better to say than elementary school language.
Some counter-argument! Very professional!

Addendum:
And not surprised at all to see @lsarsour having close relations with #Iran lobby group @NIACouncil.

@AzadehMoaveni
@yasmin_khan

Another known #Iran apologist/lobbyist is @NegarMortazavi, always ready to whitewash, justify & downgrade the crimes of the mullahs' regime.
