This is a periodic reminder that Sen. Chris Murphy had a secret meeting with Iranian FM @JZarif during the Munich Security Conference back in February.
Murphy also has strong ties with #Iran’s DC-based lobby @NIACouncil.
Let’s dig in.

“Murphy is a frequent speaker at the National Iranian American Council, a lobbying group with alleged links to the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
He also criticized the killing of Soleimani, the world's most notorious terrorist, who also killed more than 600 US soldiers in Iraq.

In return, NIAC is very fond of Sen. Murphy for his staunch support of the highly flawed, Obama/Biden nuclear deal with Iran.
The same deal that provided Iran access to billions that were used to fuel terrorism.
Even John Kerry acknowledged it:

Sen. Murphy:
“… if the hardliners come back into power as the result of the Trump administration’s pullout from the deal…”
My take:

Finally, Iran took advantage of Obama/Biden’s appeasement & had its apologists/lobbyists push its talking points freely.
They should not be allowed to continue.
For starters, the U.S. should pursue an investigation into Tehran’s lobby arm NIAC.
