Just one slight problem:

In Iran, no female reporter, Iranian or foreigner, is allowed to go around without a headscarf.

#FakeNews
It's quite interesting to see @nargesbajoghli praise her young cousin as a journalist inside Iran (without a headscarf), while she herself wore a headscarf in a meeting with @JZarif in the U.S.

Reminder:
Bajoghli is one of many #Iran apologists/lobbyists.
More on Bajoghli from @NIACouncil

“Her research focuses on pro-regime cultural producers in Iran, and is based on fieldwork conducted with Basij, Ansar-e Hezbollah, and IRGC media producers in Iran, from 2009 to 2015.”

h/t @hedayatmostowfi
Bajoghli says it "was an honor" meeting with @JZarif in New York (with a hijab) and she is quite fond of #Iran's main lobby group @NIACouncil.
More on Bajoghli:

-Back in April 2019 she claimed to send eye drops to Iran due to US sanctions
-All the while, Iran's own news agencies were reporting the regime's readiness to export medicine & medical equipment to Venezuela
-Then she made up stories about war in Iran
Bajoghli, being an #Iran apologist, says the "US keeps adding new sanctions on Iran."

Reminder:
"Treasury Designates Vast Network of IRGC-QF Officials and Front Companies in Iraq, Iran"

IRGC & Quds Force are designated terrorist organizations

#Hypocrisy
And for those interested, this thread sheds light on Bajoghli going the distance (with the help of CNN) to portray a dove image of #Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization.
