1)Senator @bobtorricelli addressing journalists during #FreeIran2020 gathering- July20:
A word to our friends in journalism.We all respect mightily what you do &we know how hard it is. A free press is vital to the maintenance of all of our free (Govs). pscp.tv/iran_policy/1l…
2) But you must come to understand that all govs w/which you're communicating when researching stories are not London or Berlin or...The rules are different. Across the globe,there are a shadow of PR firms, operatives &companies that are disseminating false information.
3)Only yesterday, one of the most respected journalists in America, @jaketapper#CNN, wrote a report, published a tweet, &later withdrew it after receiving false information from a regime operative. This is happening every day.
4)The humiliation of @derspiegel, citing false info,directly from Tehran&having to have been ordered by a German court to remove it &I’m embarrassed to tell you the same would have happened W/NYTimes, but 4the fact that our laws &constitution are different.mek-iran.com/2019/03/25/a-h…
5) We are not suggesting what you write or how or who you deal with. It is not our concern. Only that you recognize without naivete who you are dealing with. These regimes will use any means to manipulate you and get false stories in print. #FreeIran2020#MEK

Thread!
In light of the recent conviction, what is the message to the #EU?
“Conviction of the regime’s terrorist diplomat in Belgian court represents the conviction of the clerical regime in its entirety,” said @Maryam_Rajavi#EUTime4FirmIranPolicy
Ingrid Betancourt: "It has demonstrated that those who planned to kill us were not isolated lunatics but loyal servants of the #Iranian S.Leader Khamenei, Hassan Rouhani, &FM #Zarif. This judgment calls for a severe EU response." #EUTime4FirmIranPolicy
.@GiulioTerzi:We need the closure of embassies & expelling of ambassadors&diplomats when terrorism is detected. #EU-#Iran relations must b made contingent on Iran halting its malign activities. EU’s lack of proper action has emboldened Iran in its terrorism.#EUTime4FirmIranPolicy
1)The ongoing trial of #Iran's diplomat-terrorist, Assadollah #Assadi, the mastermind of the failed bomb plot meant to kill many dignitaries & #Iranians during 2018 #FreeIran rally, has raised concerns among the MEPs in @Europarl_EN. Will justice finally be done? Read the Q&A⬇️
2)MEP.@giannagancia's 1st question to @JosepBorrellF: 1)Does the HR/VP agree that such conduct is powerful evidence for a need for a firmer policy against the Iranian regime’s threatening activities in Europe? #NoImpunity4Mullahs
