“Why anyone would make him the executive vice president of a supposedly American foreign policy association doesn’t make any sense.”
“Daioleslam was granted discovery in his defense of the lawsuit, unearthing a wealth of information about NIAC’s founding and Parsi’s contacts with officials in both the Iranian and U.S. governments, including extensive email between Parsi and Javad Zarif…” #IranLobby
“The Daioleslam case revealed several instances in which Parsi used his Hill connections and position as NIAC’s leader to prove his worth to his most senior Iranian government contact.”
“Anything Trita writes comes from Zarif,” says Amirahmadi, who says he introduced the two in the early 2000s. “Trita doesn’t have an independent mind.”

The regime beat up Hossein Ronaghi! (@HosseinRonaghi)
The prominent anti-regime activist showed up at Evin prison’s courthouse to turn himself in but the people surrounded him & prevented his arrest. He was beaten up by regime agents.
The regime has earlier failed to arrest or assassinate Ronaghi at his home so he said he was going to turn himself publicly.

Ronaghi has been very brave in fighting the regime, including by publishing insightful articles in the US media.
