THREAD

1)
Not surprised at all to see @camanpour of @CNN compare U.S. President Donald Trump to #Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the man who denied the Holocaust.

Of course, Amanpour is quite fond of the regime, always providing a platform to its presidents with a smile.
2)
Amanpour has a history of providing airtime to Iranian regime officials - so-called reformists - to push their talking points.

Read this tweet & watch the video to the end.
3)
Amanpour also pitched in to help Iran's damage control efforts after Iran’s IRGC shot down a Ukrainian passenger flight PS752 with surface-to-air missiles.

Notice how she blames the U.S. & portrays a very innocent image of Iran's regime.
4)
Fact: Iran deliberately shot down the plane.

5)
More images showing who Amanpour is fond of. All smiles with dictators.

THREAD—SCOOP

1)
Sima Ladjevardian’s family has apparently been smuggling illegal cargo from #Iran pocketing millions of dollars. @SimaforTX is running against Rep. @DanCrenshawTX.

Open-source info reveals about Ladjeverdian fiscal history, which she needs to clarify.
2)
The Ladjevardian campaign funds could be illegally sourced from business deals with Iran (Byzantine Stones, LLC) in defiance of US sanctions.

A lawsuit reveals the family lied about a shipment weight that led to the death of a man handling the cargo.

"Two high-level Iranian government backers, including a former Islamic Republic official and another accused of lobbying on Tehran's behalf, were hosted at the Obama White House for more than 30 meetings..."

#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.
