The regime ruling Iran has a long history of sending its operatives, whom many describe as apologists/lobbyists, into the U.S. to pursue its interests by pushing talking points & narratives in various institutions & mainstream media.

Making a long story short, Iran took full advantage of Obama’s appeasement & had its apologists/lobbyists push the narrative of Obama providing endless concessions.
For starters, the U.S. should pursue a probe into Tehran’s lobby arm @NIACouncil.
