“Progressives line up their own national security recruits for Biden,” according to Politico.

The list includes @tparsi, a known #Iran lobbyist who has very close ties with Tehran’s senior officials & a history of exchanging emails with Iran's chief apologist @JZarif.

These photos are telling:

3)
Fereydoon was directly involved in the 2015 nuclear talks, seen here w/ @JZarif & Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, while walking after an afternoon meeting with @JohnKerry & U.S. officials in Switzerland.

Notice Parsi avatar.
4)
Parsi is the official founder of NIAC in the U.S.

Listen to how Trita Parsi parrots Zarif’s talking points.
5)
Listen to this Iranian regime insider explain that NIAC was established by @JZarif, the foreign minister of Iran.
7)
NIAC was founded in 2002 by Parsi, an Iranian-born dual citizen of Iran & Sweden, former employee at the Swedish mission to the UN & and a vocal champion of Obama’s controversial Iran nuclear deal.
8)
A court hearing shed light on emails from 2006 between Parsi & Zarif, then Iran’s ambassador to the UN.

Parsi even described himself as: “Few analysts in Washington have the access of Dr. Parsi to decision makers in Iran.”

The “Progressive list” was an effort led by @YasmineTaeb.

Taeb is seen here with @NegarMortazavi, the two leading this rally. They are both former NIAC members & thus linked to Iran's regime.
12)
Here is proof that Taeb & Taeb are former members of Iran's lobby arm NIAC.

Mortazavi is also very fond of Iran's chief apologist Zarif.

Note: Iran's officials only allow pictures with Iranians who are their utmost loyalists.
13)
Listen to Mortazavi in a TV interview boast about having close ties with Team Biden.

I recommend watching the video to the end.
14)
Listen to how Mortazavi justifies the crimes of #Iran's regime. This is the hallmark of Iran's network of apologists & lobbyists in the West.
15)
This thread aims to inform the American people about #Iran’s malign influence in the U.S., spearheaded through Tehran’s lobby group NIAC & its founder Trita Parsi.

More recently, there are reports of Iran meddling in the 2020 U.S. elections.
