1) Americans should know about #Iran’s infiltration into U.S. politics.
@AnnaForFlorida has ties with Iran’s lobby groups @paaia & @NIACouncil, is known to push Iran’s talking points & pursue Tehran’s interests in the U.S.
America & Florida, please take this seriously.
2) For the record, Anna Eskamani is also endorsed by Obama & PAAIA clearly welcomed this development.
Connecting the dots sheds further light on Iran’s dangerous influence in U.S. politics.
3) Iran’s regime is quite fond of Eskamani, interviewing her in a state media & publishing her image without a headscarf.
She pushes regime talking point of sanctions “targeting the people” & emphasizes “anyone is better than Trump.”
Yet never mentions the regime’s corruption.
4) Eskamani is quite fond of Iranian VP Massoumeh @ebtekarm, but she will not tell you that Ebtekar was a spokesperson of the regime’s thugs behind the 1979 U.S. embassy hostage crisis.
5) Here Eskamani is concerned about the health of Iran’s ruthless dictator @khamenei_ir, a man hated by millions of people across Iran and the world over.
6) Here Eskamani is seen parroting talking points of Iran’s regime:
-supports Obama’s nuclear deal that provided Iran billions to support terrorism
-blames sanctions for while Iran’s regime is corrupt to the core
-criticizes Trump after the killing of Qassem Soleimani
7) Now why is NIAC endorsing Eskamami considered an important issue?
Some background:
“How @tparsi & NIAC Used the White House to Advance Iran’s Agenda”
“… organizing the grassroots and pressure US lawmakers to pose a more Iran friendly position.” tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
8) Background:
Parsi founded NIAC & enjoyed unprecedented access to the Obama White House (most likely through Ben Rhodes) prior to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
“Former Iranian Official, Pro-Tehran Lobbyist Hosted at Obama White House Dozens of Times” freebeacon.com/national-secur…
9) Background:
Parsi is now the VP of @QuincyInst, a Washington, D.C., think tank that has promoted anti-Semitic voices and parroted pro-Iran talking points. freebeacon.com/national-secur…
10) Finally, Iran took advantage of Obama/Biden’s appeasement & had its apologists/lobbyists push its talking points freely.
1) Iranian opposition NCRI hosts online event covering ongoing human rights violations in #Iran & urging the European Union to live up to its political & moral obligations. #NoImpunity4Mullahs twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
3) @RJukneviciene
We must stand by the Iranian people as doing so is defending our democratic principles. We must stand firm against the regime, condemn its suppression with the strongest terms and hold it to account. #Iran #NoImpunity4Mullahs pscp.tv/iran_policy/1r…
1) 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.
1) While Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) describes herself as a “journalist,” some research shows she parrots the talking points of #Iran’s regime & is quite fond of dictators.
Let's dig in.
2) Johnstone is angry over President Trump’s decision to eliminate the world’s leading terrorist, Qassem Soleimani & criticized Trump by claiming he had “no legitimate reason” to have Soleimani killed.
Soleimani destroyed the lives of millions of people with his militias.
3) Johnstone also pushes the talking of Trump seeking to launch war with Iran, heard many times from @JZarif.
1) Did you know that Rep. Rashida Tlaib has ties with #Iran’s lobby group @NIACouncil?
Let’s dig in.
2) @ethanazad is a staff member of Rep. Tlaib’s office & handles a "broad legislative portfolio, helping Tlaib’s office on foreign affairs… and government oversight."
3) Ethan Azad helping Rep. Tlaib on foreign policy means what?
Notice how Rep. Tlaib pushes the “war with Iran” talking point of Iran's regime seen in @JZarif's tweets.
