For more than a year @ForeignPolicy has been providing a platform for @FaghihiRohollah to parrot the propaganda & talking points of #Iran’s regime.

Let’s get to know Faghihi.

His brother, Mostafa Faghihi, is the editor-in-chief of “Entekhab” daily, a state-run newspaper in Iran.
Faghihi also writes in @AlMonitor, an outlet owned by a pro-Tehran Syrian millioner.
Faghihi’s latest Al-Monitor piece on Jan 3: “Soleimani’s assassination unites Iranians”

@ForeignPolicy @FaghihiRohollah @AlMonitor 3)
Faghihi claims: “Killing Suleimani Has United Iranians Like Never Before”
It has united the Iranian regime, including so-called “reformists” & hardliners.
The Iranian people, however, such as this family, are rejoicing the "terrorist Soleimani's" death.

Farsi notes from inside Iran:
"We had a really joyous day after a very long time"
"Thank you, dear Trump"
"Long live Trump"
"Hats off to you, President Trump - From the people of Iran"

Faghihi attempted to portray a Western-style image of Iranian ICT Minister @azarijahromi.

Jahromi is accused of “interrogating several former political prisoners as well as monitoring and eavesdropping for intelligence purposes.”

Faghihi also praises Iran’s former president: “The Reincarnation of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad”

Reminder:
Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust.

Back in August 2019, Faghihi claimed Macron invited Iranian President @HassanRouhani to attend the G7 meeting.

@ForeignPolicy @FaghihiRohollah @AlMonitor @IranNW @azarijahromi @HassanRouhani 9)
The French government denied, humiliating Iran's regime, the Al Monitor website & Faghihi for reporting #FakeNews.

Final thoughts:
It’s quite pathetic to see mainstream media, such as @ForeignPolicy, fall to such lows as parroting the talking points of Iran’s regime.
Millions of Iranians seek change. How about giving them a voice?

I love it how they have no argument, proving me right as a result. And someone please teach this guy how to spell.
