 Shahab Dehghani, an Iranian student studying in Boston, was deported from the U.S. on Tuesday night.

A long list of Iran apologists/lobbyists, especially those with ties to Tehran’s DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil, began protesting.

Let’s take a closer look.
@NIACouncil @DonaldJTrumpJr @LisaDaftari @Scavino45 @drawandstrike @EricShawnTV @MessageFromLen @Kredo0 @charliekirk11 @michaeljohns @GeorgWebb 2)
Shahab Dehghani is the son of Kamal Dehghani Firouzabadi, a member of Iran’s Majlis (parliament) who has very close ties to senior Iranian regime officials, including @JZarif, Majlis speaker Ali Larijani & even Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Such individuals in Iran are termed as “aghazadeh,” meaning the children of senior officials who enjoy special privileges. They live luxurious lives abroad with vast riches stolen from the Iranian people.

Sasha Sobhani is another “aghazadeh.”

Holy cow! Senior militia leaders killed in American strikes in Iraq, and could include Iran’s Qassem Soleimani or one of his top aides from Iraq. Beyond insane.
So far confirmed — the Pentagon is saying two senior operatives “linked to Iran” were targeted.

Iraqi TV claims that Qassem Sulaimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed.

If true, this is no doubt the most significant/consequential killing probably in a decade.
Whoa! Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi (iranian-backed popular mobilization forces) is reportedly confirming that its deputy and Qassem Sulaimani have been indeed killed in American strikes.

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
