1) Iranian tankers are hiding in Iraqi waters to do their ship-to-ship transfers of crude oil & avoid U.S. sanctions.
U.S. maximum pressure policy targeting #Iran’s regime has been highly effective. Just has a few glitches that need attention. oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-…
2) Iraq Emerges as New Front for Enforcement of Iran Oil Sanctions
American officials say smugglers are increasingly using Iraqi waters to evade curbs on Tehran’s trade. wsj.com/articles/iraq-…
3) The Iraqi port of Al Faw is one regularly used point of transfer, according to the sources and the documents. There, Iranian tankers offload the crude to other vessels where it is mixed with oil from other sources, such as local crude, to avoid detection.
4) China is Iran’s biggest oil buyer, stocking up on cheap Iranian crude.
China took in some 8.1 million barrels of Iranian oil between June 1 and July 21.
Official reports from China said the country had not imported any Iranian crude in June. oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-O…
5) Iran's regime is using various routes to export oil, especially to China.
The revenue will not go to the Iranian people as Iran is known to be the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
1) @AJEnglish has provided a platform for @SinaToossi, a member of #Iran’s lobby group @NIACouncil, to push Tehran’s talking points in a column aiming to influence U.S. elections & rush to the support of an Iran-linked candidate in Texas.
2) Toossi claims U.S. sanctions depriving Iranians of medicine
Reminders for Al Jazeera & 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”
Important:
Iran has infiltrated into the U.S. political system
2) Listen to Negar Mortazavi, a known Iran lobbyist, say she is in "close contact" with Team Biden.
And there’s more.
3) Why is this issue important?
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray said recently that Iran and Russia are working to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election. thefederalist.com/2020/10/21/fbi…
@JasonMBrodsky: " Would note there have been incidents here before the timeframe of the latest string of explosions & fires. In 2012 a gas leak there killed at least one person and injured a dozen others."

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. #ExpelIranDiplomatTerrorists pscp.tv/iran_policy/1O…
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.
