THREAD

1)
The Obama/Biden admin was in bed with #Iran’s regime & its lobby group @NIACouncil, based on released emails.

“I have chatted with NIAC folks over the years”
“we do have a relationship with NIAC”

NIAC sought admin’s advice on paying President Clinton for a speech.

2)
NIAC is a lobby group in the U.S. pushing Iran’s talking points.

Listen to this Iranian regime insider explain that NIAC was established by @JZarif, the foreign minister of Iran's regime.

3)
@tparsi is the official founder of NIAC in the U.S.

Listen to how he parrots Zarif’s talking points.

4)
The ties between the Obama/Biden State Dept. with NIAC were so strong that NIAC sought their advice on former U.S. President Bill Clinton doing a paid speech at a fundraising event.

Yes—Iran seeking to pay the Clintons.

And Obama/Biden’s State Dept. had no problem with it.

5)
How Trita Parsi & NIAC Used the White House to Advance Iran’s Agenda

“… organizing the grassroots and pressure US lawmakers to pose a more Iran friendly position.”

6)
Former Iranian Official, Pro-Tehran Lobbyist Hosted at Obama White House Dozens of Times

“Trita Parsi, a pro-Iran advocate long accused of hiding his ties to the Iranian government, met with Obama administration officials some 33 times…”

7)
@hmousavian, a former Iranian official, also enjoyed unprecedented access to the Obama/Biden White House. Mousavian, dubbed as “Princeton’s Iranian Agent of Influence,” is known for his role in Iran’s assassinations abroad.
weeklystandard.com/reuel-marc-ger…

8)
While @Princeton University says Mousavian had a “distinguished career,” it is worth noting that he was Iran’s ambassador in Germany overlooking the September 1992 Mykonos restaurant killing of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents.

9)
Obama & Biden had Iran's lobbyists inside the White House. @saharnow of NIAC worked on the Iran nuclear deal & had very close access to Obama himself.

If Nowrouzzadeh or anyone denies she was a NIAC member, her business card proves otherwise.

10)
“NIAC’s most accomplished alum is Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, who is now National Security Council director for Iran in the Obama admin & the top US official for Iran policy, bringing together various departments working on US strategy toward [Iran].”

thedailybeast.com/the-shady-fami…

11)
"A conservative website had published an article depicting Nowrouzzadeh as a Barack Obama loyalist who had ‘burrowed into the government’ under Trump and even had ties to the hated Iranian regime itself. "

NIAC has also established ties with senior figures in Washington.

Jan 8, 2020

“Along with Reps. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) and Barbara Lee (D., Calif.), Sanders and Warren are scheduled to speak Wednesday evening with members of NIAC.”
freebeacon.com/national-secur…

13)
Iran apologists/lobbyists support Sanders.

One individual is @hodakatebi, a regular at events held by NIAC.

Katebi had called for burning the U.S. flag after the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the world’s number one terrorist.

14)
Iran lobbyists also support Warren.

Warren voiced gratitude for an endorsement from NIAC member Reza Aslan.

Aslan has close relations with Iran’s regime & also makes disgusting remarks on Twitter.

15)
A look at some of Aslan’s latest tweets.

This is who Sen. Warren expressed her gratitude to.

For the record, Aslan was forced to delete that last tweet.

However, these are quite telling of his character.

16)
Sen. Chris Murphy had a secret meeting with Iranian FM Zarif during the Munich Security Conference back in February.

Murphy also has strong ties with Iran’s DC-based lobby NIAC.
thefederalist.com/2020/02/17/sou…

17)
“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.

18)
@brhodes also established remarkably close relations with NIAC & NIAC founder Trita Parsi.

19)
NIAC members have also gained foothold in the House of Representatives.

@mahyarsorour is the Senior Legislative Assistant to Rep. @IlhanMN.

20)
@ethanazad is a staff member of @RepRashida who handles a "broad legislative portfolio, helping Tlaib’s office on foreign affairs… and government oversight."

21)
@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.

That is actually quite dangerous.

22)
@NegarMortazavi, a known Iran apologist/lobbyist with close ties to Zarif & NIAC, is in "close contact" with Team Biden.

Mortazavi is also close to Ilhan Omar & known to whitewash, justify & downgrade the crimes of Iran's regime.

Watch to the end.

23)
For those interested, read this thread to understand about the close ties between Iran’s regime & the Obama/Biden administration.

This relationship continues today with Iran apologists/lobbyists having close ties with Team Biden.

24)
NIAC founder Parsi is now the VP of @QuincyInst, a Washington, D.C., think tank funded by George Soros that has promoted anti-Semitic voices and parroted pro-Iran talking points.
freebeacon.com/national-secur…

25)
Iran took advantage of Obama/Biden’s appeasement & had its apologists/lobbyists push its talking points freely.

For starters, the U.S. should pursue an investigation into Tehran’s lobby arm NIAC.
freebeacon.com/national-secur…

26)
Finally, the State Department is calling on US think tanks & other policy groups to publicly disclose how they are funded — or risk forfeiting access to top department brass.

Note:
NIAC should be demanded to disclose their funding.
