1)
Mohsen Dehnavi, the Iranian "doctor" / "Harvard researcher" banned from entering the U.S. in 2017, has now entered #Iran's so-called parliament.

Reminder:
@JohnKerry & chief Tehran lobbyist @tparsi had defended this former IRGC paramilitary Basij member.
@JohnKerry @tparsi 2)
“This individual was deemed inadmissible to the US based on information discovered during the [customs] inspection..."
bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/07/…
@JohnKerry @tparsi 3)
While Kerry & the Iran apologists/lobbyists defended Dehnavi, they never told you that he was formerly head of the regime's Revolutionary Guards paramilitary Basij unit in Amir Kabir University. He has a history of attacking various activists who criticized the regime.
@JohnKerry @tparsi 4)
Dehnavi is very close to former IRGC commander/former Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.

Qalibaf, being groomed to become the regime's parliament speaker, boasted of personally beating protesters during #Iran's 2009 uprising.
@JohnKerry @tparsi 5)
Another such case was Shahab Dehghani, an Iranian student studying in Boston, who was deported from the U.S. in January.

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 look.

"An Iranian student who was denied entry to the United States on arrival & deported this week, amid objections from top Democrats & left-wing activists, has family ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps & Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah."

@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil 7)
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.
@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil @JZarif 8)
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.”
@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil @JZarif 9)
These images of Sasha Sobhani show his relations with senior Iranian officials, such as @JZarif & @Ahmadinejad1956, and showing off with the money his father stole from the Iranian people...
@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil @JZarif @Ahmadinejad1956 10)
While millions live in poverty, Iran activists ask where do regime officials' children ("Aghazadeh") live?
Rouhani's daughter - Austria
His niece & her husband - UK
Larijani's daughter - US
Zarif's son - US
Son of Ebtekar (VP) - US
Grandson of Khomeini (regime founder) – US
@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil @JZarif @Ahmadinejad1956 11)
Back to Dehghani. He was in Iraq last November after the Iranian regime banned travel to Iraq due to escalating protests there. Dehghani must have had a special visa to go there at the time.
@JohnKerry @tparsi @NIACouncil @JZarif @Ahmadinejad1956 12)
Matin Moghaddas, a close friend of Dehghani, is a staunch Iran loyalist who organized protests in Boston over Dehghani’s deportation.

On Twitter, Matin promoted terrorism and tweeted in support of the terrorist designated IRGC & the now dead Qassem Soleimani.
13)
Matin messaged Dehghani during his visit to Karbala, southern Iraq, a city where Iranian proxies enjoy strong influence and its quite interesting to see Dehghani travelling to such a site.
14)
The likes of Dehghani hold such sessions in the U.S. promoting the Iranian regime.
Notice images of the mullahs’ leaders.
Reminder: This is inside the U.S., not Iran.
15)
Sajjad Soltan Mohammadi, who participated in protests against Dehghani’s deportation, is seen in a anti-Semitism conference in the U.S. among a group of Iranian and Iraqi immigrants who have close ties with Tehran’s regime.
16)
Ashkan Haji Hosseinlou also participated in protests against Dehghani’s deportation. You should know that he is the son of Nasser Haji Hosseinlou who has very close business ties with Iran’s terrorist designated Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
17)
As mentioned before, MSM & Iran apologists/lobbyists went overboard on this:
@jrezaian – criticized for his pro-Iran WaPo columns
@BahmanKalbasi – criticized for pushing Tehran’s talking points in BBC & BBC Persian
@NegarMortazavi – criticized for her close ties w/ @JZarif
18)
Get to know Negar Mortazavi, a @NIACouncil alumni who has very close relations with Zarif & @IlhanMN.
19)
Get to know Ebrahim Mohseni who works for the University of Maryland & is busy producing fake polls about the mullahs enjoying vast support.

He speaks at the Atlantic Council, a known pro-Iran think tank.

Mohseni has also given speeches at IRGC Basij paramilitary events.
20)
"Professor Marandi, amongst many other bodies, heads the University of Tehran Centre for Public Opinion Research (UTCPOR), which is monitored by the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Mohseni is one of Marandi's proteges... "

21)
Listen to the remarks of this former Iranian intelligence minister explain how Tehran uses “reporters” in foreign countries.
22)
Now listen to @NIACouncil founder @tparsi parrot @JZarif's talking points.
23)
It’s also quite interesting to see Elizabeth Warren so involved in this case.
24)
Maybe this has something to do with Warren’s interests in this case:

Reminder:
“US sentences 2 Iranian men to prison for spying”
“An FBI investigation found that the two men were spying on American citizens”

My thoughts:
The U.S. needs to be very careful about who it allows on its soil from Iran.
Tehran has been sending its moles to America for decades.
