First, a reminder of how the Obama nuclear deal provided huge amounts of money to the regime in Iran.
Iranian MP Alireza Zakani: The Obama administration gave Iran $1.7 billion in unmarked cash, with $400 million in suitcases.

Emails from 2006 between Parsi & Zarif, then Iran’s ambassador to the UN.
Paris described himself by saying: “Few analysts in Washington have the access of Dr. Parsi to decision makers in Iran.”

The Obama admin was in bed with Iran’s regime & its lobby group NIAC, based on released emails.
“I have chatted with NIAC folks over the years”
“we do have a relationship with NIAC”
NIAC sought the admin’s advice on paying President Clinton for a speech.

The ties between the Obama/Biden State Dept. with NIAC were so strong that NIAC sought their advice on former U.S. President Bill Clinton doing a paid speech at a fundraising event.
Yes—Iran seeking to pay the Clintons.
And Obama/Biden’s State Dept. had no problem with it.

A very informative piece on NIAC by @michaeldjohnsjr.
"The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) frequently echoes Tehran’s rhetoric in redirecting blame at the U.S. for Iranian aggression and malfeasance." https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/an-iran-lobby-in-america/

Iran took advantage of the Obama administration's appeasement & had apologists/lobbyists push its talking points freely.
For starters, the U.S. should pursue an investigation into Tehran’s lobby arm NIAC. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/congress-seeks-investigation-into-pro-iran-lobby-group-tied-to-tehran-regime/
