. @democracynow gives airtime to known #Iran apologist/lobbyist @NegarMortazavi (who is fond of @JZarif) to push the regime's talking points.

Note:
-Iran's FM spox: "... medicine & food, as you know, were not on any sanctions..."
-Iran rejected int’l aid

#FakeNews

2)
Mortazavi is a former member of #Iran’s DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil & has very close ties with Iran’s FM @JZarif.

She is despised by Iranians.

And BTW, she boasts of having close contact with Team Biden.

I recommend watching this to the end.

While claiming U.S. sanctions are causing medicine shortages & killing people in Iran, here’s what Mortazavi won’t tell you about Iran’s regime.

Iraqi military intelligence confiscated 19 containers of smuggled medicine from Iran.

Iran's own media reports “food/medicine sanctions” are fake news.

Feb 4, 2020—“Iran not relying on Swiss mechanism for supplying medicine, basic goods” – meaning no shortage in medicine & basic goods

May 14, 2020—“Some 96 tons of medical supplies arrive in Iran from Germany”

5)
Some may say US sanctions deprive Iran of humanitarian goods & medicine.

Reminder:
July 21, 2019—The chief of staff of Iran's president said $1.12 billion in hard currency allocated for importing medicines & essential goods simply “disappeared.” https://en.radiofarda.com/a/one-billion-euros-allocated-for-importing-essential-goods-disappears-in-iran/30066674.html

6)
Iran’s regime has a long history of hoarding medicine & medical equipment, selling it to the people at skyrocketing prices.

Hoarded medical supplies near Tehran including 4,000 pieces used in orthopedic & heart illness surgeries.

Value—Over $3 million

7)
Alborz Province, northern Iran

Over 100 million surgical & medical gloves hoarded in a warehouse.

8)
Brian Hook, former U.S. Special Rep on Iran

Facts:

-Medicine not sanctioned
-Regime itself prevents access
-Regime & IRGC-affiliated entities are hoarding drugs & other critical medical products that they can then sell at marked up prices for profit

9)
BTW, here we see Mortazavi & @YasmineTaeb, the ladies leading this rally. They are both former members of Iran’s lobby group NIAC & thus linked to the regime.

All Americans should be informed about Iran's lobbyists having ties with American figures.

10)
Here is proof that Mortazavi & Taeb are former members of Iran's lobby arm NIAC.

Note: Iran's officials only allow pictures with Iranians who are their utmost loyalists.
