Note:
Murphy is a frequent speaker at #Iran's DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil.
He also criticized the killing of Soleimani, the world's most notorious terrorist, who killed more than 600 U.S. soldiers in Iraq & destroyed the lives of millions of civilians in the region.

In return, NIAC is very fond of Murphy for his staunch support of Obama's highly flawed 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The same deal that provided Iran access to billions that were used to fuel terrorism.
Even John Kerry acknowledged it.

A highly 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/

On Murphy’s opposition to designating the Iran-backed Houthis as a terror organization, it is worth noting that this militia group recently claimed responsibility for a missile attack targeting Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil fields.

Final thoughts:
-Quite interesting to see Murphy being so sensitive about the Houthis' possible designation as a terrorist org.
-For those interested, this thread provides documented reports on #Iran’s support for the Houthis.
-And BTW, Obama knew. https://twitter.com/HeshmatAlavi/status/1330883661579902977?s=20
