@nargesbajoghli tweeted a video of her “young cousin” in #Iran. Bajoghli does not explain why she is not wearing a hijab in a country with strict rules.
This thread digs into the bigger picture of Iran’s apologists/lobbyists pushing Tehran’s talking points.
#FakeNews
To be fair, here is the video.
It is quite interesting how she portrays a “nothing to see image here” of Iran at a time when the regime is under intense criticism over its mismanagement of the novel coronavirus.
(And notice how all the women in the background have hijabs.)
Reminder:
This is how Iranian women not wearing a hijab are attacked in Iran by the regime’s forces.

It's interesting to see Bajoghli praise her young “journalist” cousin inside Iran (without a hijab), while she herself wore a hijab in a meeting with @JZarif in the U.S.
Note:
Bajoghli is one of many Iran apologists/lobbyists & has links with Tehran’s lobby group @NIACouncil.
Bajoghli, being an #Iran apologist, says: "US keeps adding new sanctions on Iran."

IRGC & Quds Force are designated terrorist organizations
#Hypocrisy
Thinking out loud
If she posts this video of a young woman without hijab in Iran, Bajoghli must be ensured of her safety from regime security forces. Therefore, one can assume that Bajoghli has links with Iran’s security apparatus & the regime green-lighted/welcomed her tweet.
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.
On the bigger picture:
@tparsi is the founder of NIAC & continues to parrot Zarif’s talking points in western MSM.
Watch
Parsi is now the vice president of a George Soros-funded think tank.
For those interested, this thread sheds light.
@NegarMortazavi is another Iran apologist/lobbyist pushing Zarif’s talking points in MSM.
It is worth noting that she has close ties with Zarif & NIAC.
There are many more examples of such Iran apologists/lobbyists.
Former Iranian intelligence minister Ali Fallahian explains openly how Tehran uses such “reporters” for its own agenda.
This issue gets far more dangerous when we realize that Iran apologists/lobbyists have found their way into the halls of U.S. Congress.
-@mahyarsorour with @Ilhan
-@ethanazad with @RepRashida
-@samira_says with @RepBarbaraLee
@mahyarsorour is the Senior Legislative Assistant to @Ilhan.
Sorour was a candidate for NIAC Action's leadership board back in July.
BTW, Negar Mortazavi also has close relations with Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Could she be feeding Omar with Zarif’s talking points? Quite possibly.
@ethanazad is a staff member of @RepRashida who handles a "broad legislative portfolio, helping Tlaib’s office on foreign affairs… and government oversight."
Interesting to see Azad’s fondness of Iran’s (IRGC), designated as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization.”
@samira_says is a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of @RepBarbaraLee. That could potentially give her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data.
Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT is also a staunch advocate of appeasing the dictatorship in Iran & pushing this regime's talking points.
It is worth noting that he secretly met with Zarif & has close relations with NIAC.
Trita Parsi enjoyed unprecedented access to the White House (most likely through Ben Rhodes) prior to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

IMPORTANT:
Congressional leaders have petitioned the Trump administration to investigate a pro-Iran lobbying organization (NIAC) that has long faced accusations of acting as the Islamic Republic's unregistered mouthpiece in America.

I humbly ask you to RT this thread to raise awareness across America & call on politicians/lawmakers to take action against the malign influence of #Iran's regime in this country.
