Have been listening to @jrezaian’s superb podcast, 544 days. & was thinking about the months in 2015 when the timeline of the sham judicial proceedings seemed related to the timeline of the Iran nuclear talks. “indictment” announced april 2015, “trial” may 26, 2015,…
“conviction” oct. 11, 2015. the sham judicial proceedings basically geared up as the parties were heading into what they thought were the final round of talks, which stretched into july, when deal reached july 14…
the prisoner swap talks were happening in a separate channel than the nuclear talks, but Jason’s IRGC captors seem to have had their own agenda which was related to the nuclear talks calendar. …

🧵A senior Israeli official, speaking to reporters on background today, pressed for Iran to face further diplomatic isolation. When asked about Saudi Iran talks, he said he thought Iran should be diplomatically isolated.
Though US and western parties expressing increased frustration with Iran not returning to talks, he suggested it was still too early for in depth US Israeli discussions about possible military action. US still at stage of looking at situation, analyzing it, he said.
He suggested it might be appropriate for the other parties to rebuke Iran at the next IAEA board of governors meeting in November.

🧵@mikememoli reports: In a letter to the National Archives, WH counsel Dana Remus rejected Trump’s attorneys' attempt to withhold documents requested by the House Select Comm. “Pres. Biden has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests
“of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents.”
