1) Listen to four #Iran apologists/lobbyists push Tehran's talking points of rooting the ongoing #IranRevoltuion on Trump nixing the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) and imposing economic sanctions.
No mention of the regime's 43 years of brutalities.
2) Azadeh Moaveni a member of the International Crisis Group, alongside another #Iran apologist/lobbyist Ali Vaez, a protege of former regime president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Moaveni is also very close to #IranLobby arm NIAC.
4) Negar Mortazavi is a known #Iran apologist/lobbyist, former NIAC member, and someone who enjoys very close access to Tehran's senior officials, including former regime foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. #IranLobby heshmatalavi.substack.com/p/who-is-negar…

More footage of protesters starting fires. Here they're seen blocking a road from the city of Sardasht.
This is the 32nd night of the nationwide anti-regime uprising. #IranRevolution #مهسا_امینی #آزادی_آزادی_آزادی
1) Reports from #Iran indicate at least 60 inmates were killed & injured after being attacked by #Evin Prison security forces and anti-riots on Saturday night.
2) This attack was launched in response to #Evin inmates in wards 7 and 8 taking to the prison yard and voicing support for the ongoing #IranRevoIution2022 and chanting slogans specifically targeting regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
3) Security forces used live bullets, pellet rounds, tear gas, and flashbang grenades in the attack.
Fifty inmates of Ward 8, where political prisoners are held, were transferred out; 15 of which were taken to #Evin clinic for the severity of their wounds.
1) Blinken held a meeting on Friday with a few "civil society activists" to discuss the latest situation in #Iran.
He & the Biden admin need to explain why they invited Sherry Hakimi who is very close to Tehran's regime & #IranLobby group NIAC.
2) As Hakimi says, she is very fond of #Iran's former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, aka Iran's chief apologist. Not everyone is invited to a dinner with Zarif. Only the ultimate regime loyalists are.
#IranLobby group NIAC has a specific page for her on their website.
3) Hakimi published a list of sources that she believes represent the voice of #Iran's people.
The names are quite telling. Nearly all are among the list of Iran's network of apologists/lobbyists.
