“Voice of America’s management has told staff of the U.S.-government-funded but editorially independent global news outlet not to call Hamas and its members terrorists, except when quoting statements, National Review has learned.” nationalreview.com/2023/10/voice-…
“In an email sent on Friday to the news service’s employees, VOA associate editor for news standards Carol Guensburg relayed the outlet’s policy for covering the October 7 terrorist attacks and the ensuing Israeli campaign against Hamas targets. She emphasized that VOA needs to maintain neutrality in its coverage and that its reporters should “be especially careful with word choice in dealing with a conflict.”
“Reporters and editors for the outlet may call Hamas’s slaughter of civilians on October 7 terrorist attacks or acts of terror, according to VOA guidance, which initially went out to staff on October 10. But VOA staff were instructed to ‘avoid calling Hamas and its members terrorists, except in quotes,’ according to emails obtained by NR.”

“An Iranian-born Pentagon official is to keep her top-level security clearance despite being named as part of a covert influence campaign run by Tehran — and being called a ‘spy’ by Republicans.” nypost.com/2023/10/20/pen…
“Ariane Tabatabai appeared to be a willing recruit in the covert influence operation run by Tehran’s Foreign Ministry, according to a trove of leaked files revealed last month by Semafor.”
“She was previously a key aide to the suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley, whose secret ties to Tehran sparked congressional uproar.

Since early 2022, Tabatabai has been chief of staff to the Pentagon’s assistant secretory of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, Christopher P. Maier.”

“Simon Malley embraced national liberation movements around the world, and was a trusted confidant to Arafat and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, with whom he once conducted a 20-hour interview, according to reports.” nypost.com/2023/10/14/ex-…
“The Malley family’s sojourn in Paris was interrupted when conservative French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing ordered Simon out of the country and stripped him of his residence permit in 1980.”
“The expulsion came shortly after Interior Minister Christian Bonnet told the country’s National Assembly that articles written by Simon ‘were genuine appeals to murder foreign heads of state. The French government cannot tolerate this.’”

Thread 🧵 <The Empire Strikes Back>
Why did the Islamic Republic massacre Israelis through HAMAS at this moment? What factors are driving Khamenei & the Revolutionary Guards’ behavior? Image
The regime has faced the most widespread & persistent popular uprising against it in the past 44 years. The murder of #MahsaAmini & the ensuing uprising posed the most serious threat to the regime than ever before. The regime has managed to drive the uprising underground for the moment, but the threat of its overthrow is not gone. The strike against Israel was a show of power for the regime’s most important audience, the people of #Iran.
Image
The regime also sees that the Biden admin is committed to a policy of “engagement” (appeasement) and lacks the will for pressuring the regime or taking military action in response to the massacre. Image

“The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund,support,& direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States & allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails.” tabletmag.com/sections/israe…
They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.”
“Though several of the IEI operatives and others named in the emails have sought to portray themselves on social media as having engaged with the regime in their capacity as academic experts, or in order to promote better understanding between the United States and Iran, none has questioned the veracity of the emails.”

The current moment seems perfect for a major shock to the Islamic Republic. The banking system is collapsing, there is no gasoline, water & electricity shortages are increasing, and the population is about to explode in the face of social restrictions & as the one year anniversary of #MahsaAmini’s murder approaches.
The Biden admin is well aware of the dire situation for the regime & has substantially eased sanction restrictions. Robert Malley has also tried to give the regime $16 billion + in order to stave off regime collapse
Sensing grave danger, the regime has moved to repair ties with its mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia. It’s a desperate gamble. But the Biden admin’s policies will help the regime. For a while.
