#Iran's Mizan news agency, linked to the judiciary, accuses Shekari of blocking a street & attacking a member of the security forces with a machete in Tehran. At least a dozen people so far have received death sentences over their involvement in the demos.

#MohsenShekari was executed today

#Iran's regime deliberately waited after the recent 3-day protests marking the country's Student Day.

Tehran is now evaluating both domestic & int'l reaction. If protests don't escalate & world community remains silent, they will execute more. Image

THREAD

1)
 @EllieGeranmayeh has written a WaPo piece titled:
"We still need a nuclear deal with Tehran. The protests don't change that."
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Don't be surprised. She is a known #Iran apologist/lobbyist who glorifies both Qassem Soleimani and the IRGC.
2)
 Geranmayeh enjoyed very close access to #Iran's former FM Mohammad Javad Zarif (dubbed Tehran's chief apologist).

She also mingles with Iran lobbyists such as Trita Parsi & Negar Mortazavi.

 In this video we see Geranmayeh & Esfandyar Batmanghelidj (another #Iran apologist/lobbyist) in London, both sitting very close to Tehran's then ambassador to the UK, indicating their close ties with the regime.

 Biden admin takes heat from former U.S. officials for criticism of #Iran dissident group: ‘Flagrant betrayal’

American dignitaries accuse Rob Malley of seeking to appease Tehran’s regime by criticizing dissidents.

#IranRevolution2022 Image
2)
 These accusations against Malley are not baseless.
He is quite fond of #Iran’s former FM Zarif (dubbed Tehran’s chief apologist) and has long enjoyed relations with Iran’s DC-based lobby arm NIAC.

More on NIAC in this piece

3)
 Malley’s primary mission in the Biden admin is to resurrect Obama’s highly failed/flawed 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that gave the regime access to $152 billion in credit/cash.

@GLNoronha described the Vienna talks (with the US delegation led by Malley) as a “total disaster”. Image
