Faezeh Hashemi, a daughter of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani had an Instagram interview days ago.
She says had she lived in #US wouldn’t vote for Trump, but Trump’s election was better; bcz unlike Dems he pressures #Iran & Tehran’s behavior changes only under pressure

Faezeh #Hashemi who was Tehran’s 1st MP in 1996, criticizes Rouhani and Zarif’s foreign policy. She says contrary to expectations, #Iran’s relations with Arab neighbors worsened under Rouhani. She blames #Zarif & #Rouhani for becoming more radical than Iranian conservatives.

Faezeh Hashemi:
- I won’t campaign for #Zarif if he runs in 2021 presidential race, he’s shown his capacity as the Foreign Minister.
- Zarif sulked after he wasn’t informed about #Syria President Assed’s unannounced visit to Tehran.
- Rouhani’s performance is not defensible.

Faezeh Hashemi:
- Democrats usually leave #Iran to do whatever it wants but Tehran’s behavior either domestically or regionally changes JUST when #US forces it to do so under pressure.
- My father and Mr. Khamenei parted their ways through years especially after 2009.

Faezeh Hashemi also jabs at #Reformist s, says they are unpredictable, blames them for putting aside their values in aid to to remain part of power.
She defends her father’s performance in 1990s, his wrong economic policies, lack of freedoms and public crackdowns. #Iran
