Report: Top Officials on Biden's Iran Team Acted Under Directions From Tehran
[LI] Sen. Ted Cruz: Released documents "suggest a vast Iranian influence operation that goes to the very top of the administration."

Top officials on President Joe Biden’s Iran team were acting under the directions of the Iranian regime, a trove of recently released documents by the U.S. news website Semafor show.

At least three senior aides to President Biden’s Special Envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, were reportedly members of the notorious "Iran Experts Initiative" (IEI), launched in 2014 to peddle influence inside Washington. The documents highlight "how Iran was capable of the kind of influence operations that the U.S. and its allies in the region often conduct," Semafor reported Tuesday.

The members of Iran-backed IEI advocated for the 2015 nuclear deal. Steered by Iran’s Foreign Ministry, members of the group used Western mainstream media outlets to bolster Tehran’s negotiating position in the run-up to the nuclear agreement. "The IEI participants were prolific writers of op-eds and analyses, and provided insights on television and Twitter, regularly touting the need for a compromise with Tehran on the nuclear issue — a position in line with both the Obama and Rouhani administrations at the time," the news website noted.

#1 "emails were obtained and translated by Iran International, a Persian-language television news channel headquartered in London — which was briefly based in Washington due to Iranian government threats — and shared with Semafor. Semafor and Iran International jointly reported on some aspects of the IEI. Both organizations have produced their own stories independently.
The communications reveal the access Rouhani’s diplomats have had to Washington’s and Europe’s policy circles, particularly during the final years of the Obama administration, through this network."

#2 /\ We watched Brennan and Valjar in action. Few surprises here. Hunter and the Biden Crime Family cloned the process, taking it to an an entirely new level.

#3 Now that the sputtering farce of the Puppet Show approaches stalling, all the last minute looting of the Treasury accelerates. On impact, every one of these miscreant traitors to their oath of office will walk scot-free, and the American people will find the 33 trillion dumpster-fire that was their government in wreckage and revolt. Truely Change You Can Believe In!

#4 there are at least half a million ethnic Persians in the USA and I would guess 95% oppose the Mullocracy

somehow Obama and Biden found a few pro Mullocracy fellows and employed them at high levels
