THREAD

1)
#Iran’s regime is increasing its measures aimed at interfering in U.S. elections.

@DNI_Ratcliffe shed light on this important matter.

Americans should be aware that Iran is pursuing this initiative specifically through its US-based lobby arm @NIACouncil.

2)
In this thread, I will be presenting how Iran:

-has infiltrated Congressional offices through its lobbyists

-is using its clout to provide Tehran’s regime access to U.S. citizens’ information

-is spreading pro-Iran misinformation & undermining the U.S. democratic process

@JZarif

3)
NIAC is a lobby group in the U.S. pushing Iran’s talking points.

THREAD

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”

Periodic reminder:
#Iran's lobbyists have close ties with Biden & Harris.

@NegarMortazavi & @YasmineTaeb, the ladies leading this rally, are linked to Iran lobby group @NIACouncil.

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.

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.

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.

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.
