Important. I asked which force in #Iran—MOIS or IRGC—plotted against @AlinejadMasih in July as indictment Friday didn’t mention. @IranIntl reports it was IRGC-QF. If true, this should provide EU grounds—hot off the press—to sanction #IRGCterrorists. 1/4
This network is heavily involved in the Caucasus. There is a specific mention of IRGC-QF Unit 840 working on Masih plot. Hassan Sayyad Khodaei, who was killed in Iran last year, served under unit’s head Yazdan Mir. *Unit 840 has also plotted assassinations in Europe.* 2/4
Timing here is interesting in the plot against Masih took place at a time when there were changes in the IRGC-IO. A series of botched operations in Turkey culminated in Hossein Taeb’s ouster. Some of those IRGC-QF operatives implicated in Masih plot had background in Turkey. 3/4

Some commentary here is exasperating. A "no deal, no crisis" dynamic does not take into account in October 2023, UNSCR 2231's missile restrictions on #Iran are scheduled to be lifted. U.S. and E3 can't just sit idly by. That's why snapback is needed. 1/4

“No one wants the JCPOA to die like this,” said a senior EU official. Plenty of people in U.S. and Europe do--they're uninterested in giving IRI a lifeline. This nostalgia and attachment to a product from 2015 is unhealthy and detached from reality. 2/4
This logic should be discarded. An #IRGCterrorists designation is how you build leverage to telegraph to #Iran's regime it will not be business as usual. EU's problem has been it's too consumed over preserving JCPOA and not developing a comprehensive policy. 3/4

A few thoughts about @USEnvoyIran's reported meetings with #Iran's UN ambassador. U.S. has an obligation to bring American hostages home & these meetings could have been about those cases. It may have also been telegraphing red lines on nuclear file. 1/5

Engagement between U.S. & Iran at UN in New York isn't new, even though Khamenei prohibited direct contacts during Vienna negotiations. That being said, releasing funds to Iran now would be a terrible idea--it risks being construed as an external intervention amid protests. 2/5
That's especially true if there are no strings attached amid a lengthy list of Iranians who are at risk of execution & who are being abused. The U.S. has brought home hostages before without the release of funds--see Xiyue Wang & Michael White. 3/5

Thread: with @JPN_PMO due to visit @POTUS on Friday, it's a good time to ask what has #Japan done to hold #Iran's regime accountable for arming #Russia in #Ukraine? What has it done to hold Tehran accountable for human rights abuses? Supportive votes at UN, but no sanctions. 1/4
Japan voted in favor of kicking Iran off of @UN_CSW & establishing a special investigative mechanism @UN_HRC, but it has been the only member of the G7 not to levy any sanctions on Tehran since September. 2/4
As Japan is the president of G7 in 2023, it would be a good opportunity for the media, Members of Congress, & @POTUS to ask why Japan is not sanctioning Iran's regime? Japan doesn't have all the same sanctions regimes as U.S. & Europe, particularly on human rights in Iran. 3/4

Today Khamenei for the first time in a while spoke about #Iran JCPOA to Basij, saying “Negotiation will not solve our problems w. America. Only one thing would solve our problem with America & that is paying ransom...but not just one ransom, they would always ask for ransom." 1/5
Khamenei has uttered this line before--including in lead-up to the inking of the JCPOA in 2015. But the context here is different--it shows Khamenei unlikely to conclude a deal, especially in light of the situation regarding the #IranRevoIution2022. 2/5
iranintl.com/en/202211260138
This underscores one of Khamenei's core beliefs: that compromise begets expectations for more compromise. He repudiates those in Iran like reformist voices who argue that the system must solve its problems with America to make the protests go away. 3/5

Momentum: as of October, EU levied its 2nd tranche of human rights sanctions on #Iran since 2013, w. another set scheduled for Monday. Canada has issued 4 sets of sanctions--its 1st designations in years. @UN_HRC is convening a special session on #Iran--its first since 2006. 1/4
Germany is issuing visa restrictions & suspending dialogues. U.S. has started a campaign to remove #Iran from @UN_CSW & issued several sanctions tranches of its own. UK has levied its first tranche of human rights sanctions on #Iran since 2013, with hopefully more on the way. 2/4
EU & UK have levied sanctions on Iran for drone proliferation as well--a first since 2013. IAEA BoG is slated to pass a 2nd censure resolution of Iran in just months. For those interested in holding #Iran's regime accountable for its crimes, this is progress... 3/4
