1)
@NegarMortazavi has been dismissed from the @Independent. She is a known #Iran apologist/lobbyist & alumni of @NIACouncil, Tehran’s main DC-based lobby group.

Mortazavi has close ties with @JZarif & @IlhanMN.

Other NIAC members have also found foothold in Congress.
2)
Mortazavi has been on a mission to constantly downplay & justify the mullahs’ crimes in Iran.

Listen.
3)
Iran’s regime has long used “reporters” such as Mortazavi in western media.

Listen to the remarks of a former Iranian intelligence minister explaining how Tehran uses “reporters” to gather intelligence.
