SHORT THREAD

1)
 Iranian National Convicted For Scheme To Evade U.S. Economic Sanctions By Illicitly Sending More Than $115 Million Through The U.S. Financial System

Ali Sadr Hasheminejad sought to illegally funner more than $115 mn to #Iran's regime.

2)
 US prosecutor Michael Krouse moved to preclude two expert witnesses for Hasheminejad, among them a proposed testimony from @tparsi on ‘de-risking’ because neither of these witnesses were qualified to discuss the concept.

3)
 Krouse said Parsi had never worked for a bank or in bank compliance, nor had he published any articles or conducted any scientific studies about “de-risking”.

Me:
The fact that Parsi, founder of @NIACouncil, is involved in this case shows its importance for #Iran's regime.

March 16 - Qom, #Iran
Authorities issued orders to close two famous religious sites in this city. Qom is a coronavirus hotbed in Iran.

IRGC paramilitary Basij members & regime supporters held a rally protesting this decision.

2/2
March 16 - Qom, #Iran
IRGC paramilitary Basij members & regime supporters broke into the sites.

My take:
These religious sites are a source of massive revenue for local officials. Now they will claim "the people" are against closing the sites.

#coronavirus
March 16 - Mashhad, NE #Iran
Similar scenes after authorities closed the Imam Reza shrine.

My take:
This is all staged by the mullahs' regime to continue their policies & maintain their interests.
