🧵THREAD🧵:Tomorrow @USEnvoyIran will testify before @SenateForeign. NUFDI has prepared ten questions on behalf of the Iranian-American community and shared them with Senate staffers.

Here are our ten questions for @Rob_Malley:
1. Why do you think Iranian-Americans and human rights activists were opposed to your appointment from the very beginning?
2. In your more than one year in office, why have you refused to meet with human rights advocates and pro-democracy members of the Iranian-American community?
3. In addition to the Iranian-American community here at home, dissidents and activists inside Iran have been vocal in their criticism of you. Why have you refused to address their concerns? Why do you think they, living in Iran, think you are an apologist for their dictatorship?
4. Will you, like your predecessor, engage Iranian activists and regime opponents who are risking their lives each and every day? Or will you continue to ignore them?
5. What contact have you had with Islamic Republic-aligned groups in the United States?
6. The previous administration built USAdarFarsi into one of the most successful and influential Persian-language social media accounts. Why has engagement dropped off so steeply?

@USABehFarsi
7. Why has the State Department’s messaging on Iran promoted spin classes, national parks, and hijab while effectively ignoring protests and the regime’s crimes against humanity in Iran?
8. Are you aware that last month an #IRGC and Qassem Soleimani-affiliated actor came to the U.S. and assaulted Iranian-Americans dissidents who confronted him about his ties to the regime? What role did your team have in issuing visas to him and his entourage?
9. What is your plan to confront #IRGC affiliates entering the United States and threatening both Iranian-American activists and US national security more broadly?
10. Now that your strategy of maximum appeasement of this regime, despite your willingness to supplicate to nearly every one if its demands, has stalled, what will it take for you to change course?
