#BREAKING

THREAD

1)
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Wednesday that #Iran and Russia are working to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election.
thefederalist.com/2020/10/21/fbi…
2)
Iran & Russia got their hands on U.S. voter registration information, enabling the foreign adversaries to send false information to registered voters as a means to sow chaos & confusion & undermine the public’s confidence in America’s electoral process.
3)
The foreign nations aren’t the only disseminators of false information. American groups including Never Trump operation the Lincoln Project served as #Iran’s American digital foot soldiers, buying into the disinformation & amplifying it.
The Lincoln Project deleted this tweet.
4)
“Media did exactly what Iran knew they would do. They assumed fake ‘Proud Boys’ e-mails were real, then used them to attack Trump,” a senior intelligence official told The Federalist in light of tonight’s announcement.
5)
Following the announcement, mainstream media reporters, including PBS White House correspondent and MSNBC contributor Yamiche Alcindor, continued peddling the Iran line:
6)
“Some members of the media are doing Iran’s job for them in spite of literally just being warned not to,” the senior intel official said.

Ratcliffe also noted that Iran is disseminating other content, including a video indicating that people could cast fraudulent ballots.
7)
These attempts by Iran and Russia, aided by the Lincoln Project, are occurring as Big Tech companies actively censor important information from voters.
8)
Twitter has recently come under increasing fire, especially when #Iran's dictator @Khamenei_ir uses this platform to threaten other nations and Twitter takes no action.
9)
This is important:

@samira_says, a member of #Iran's lobby group @NIACouncil, 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.
10)
"... we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails to intimidate voters, incite social unrest & damage President Trump. You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails."

This is an unprecedented trial. The bomb plot could have been devastating. Also, we know that the direct implication of the Iranian state in this disgusting crime is now established.

Iraqi military intelligence confiscated 19 containers of smuggled medicine from #Iran.

All the while, @JZarif, Iran's apologists/lobbyists & #FakeNews outlets like @nytimes & @CNN, blame U.S. sanctions for "medicine shortages" in Iran.

Let’s debunk these lies.
2)
@AP blames #Iran's Covid-19 crisis on "American sanctions"

Reminders for AP & other MSM outlets:
-Iran's Foreign Ministry spox: "... medicine & food, as you know, were not on any sanctions..."
-Iran's state media confirm food/medicine not sanctioned
-Iran rejected int'l aid
3)
Iran's own media indicates the “food/medicine sanctions” is fake news

Feb 4 — "Iran not relying on Swiss mechanism for supplying medicine, basic goods” – meaning no shortage in medicine & basic goods

May 14 — “Some 96 tons of medical supplies arrive in Iran from Germany”
