@ChrisMurphyCT once again seems more like a diplomat or ambassador of #Iran’s genocidal regime than a U.S. senator.
No surprise, however, since he has held secret meetings with @JZarif & is close to Iran’s lobby groups @NIACouncil & @paaia.

In return, NIAC is very fond of Sen. Murphy for his staunch support of the highly flawed, Obama-blessed 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The same deal that provided Iran access to billions that were used to fuel terrorism.
Even John Kerry acknowledged it: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/john-kerry-money-iran-sanctions-terrorism/index.html

Murphy claims—“Trump/Pompeo ‘maximum pressure’ did nothing except restart Iran’s nuclear program”
Salehi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Org:
"We did not fill the Arak heavy water reactor with cement."
"We had already purchased pipes like those filled."

Murphy has a history of pushing Iran’s talking points, such as describing Zarif as a “moderate”…
Reminders:
Zarif is very fond of Iran’s terrorist-designated IRGC, Quds Force, Hezbollah, Assad & …

Murphy:
“… if the hardliners come back into power as the result of the Trump admin’s pullout from the deal…”
My take:
Murphy is so blinded by his hatred of Pres. Trump that he literally doesn’t know anything about how Iran is ruled by nothing but hardliners.

Remember Murphy’s ties with Iran’s lobby group NIAC?
This is a highly informative piece on NIAC by @michaeldjohnsjr.
"[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/
