An interesting thread has popped up on Twitter in the wake of attorney Sidney Powell's recently filed lawsuits alleging widespread election fraud in Michigan and Georgia ('the Kraken') - which claims in part that China and Iran monitored and manipulated elections, "including the most recent US general election in 2020." Journalist and Iran expert Heshmat Alavi, who describes himself as a "political activist and supporter for regime change in Iran," has compiled a lengthy exposé in response to this claim, and brings readers down the rabbit hole regarding Iran's penetration into US politics. The thread is heavy on media, so it will be embedded in its entirety: Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · LONG THREAD IMPORTANT 1)From @SidneyPowell1’s lawsuit filed in Georgia “… the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China & Iran in order to monitor & manipulate elections, including the most recent US general election in 2020.” https://docdroid.com/e3rhDCz/compla Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 2) For those unfamiliar with the Dominion voting system: Dominion Executive: “Trump is not going to win. I made f***ing sure of that.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1331933769058672640 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 3) Why is this important? #Iran has been increasingly aiming to interfere in U.S. elections specifically through its U.S.-based lobby group @NIACouncil. DNI John Ratcliffe shed light on this important matter. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331934344714350592 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 4) In this thread, I will be presenting how Iran: -has infiltrated Congressional offices through its lobbyists -using its clout to provide Tehran’s regime access to U.S. citizens’ information -spreading pro-Iran misinformation & undermining the U.S. democratic process Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 5) NIAC is a lobby group in the U.S. pushing Iran’s talking points. Listen to this Iranian regime insider explain that NIAC was established by @JZarif, the foreign minister of Iran. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331935291125456896 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 6) @tparsi is the official founder of NIAC in the U.S. Listen to how Trita Parsi parrots Zarif’s talking points. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331935958976110592 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 7) Here we see @NegarMortazavi & @YasmineTaeb, the ladies leading this rally. They are both former NIAC members & thus linked to Iran's regime. All Americans should be informed that Iran's lobbyists have established ties with American figures. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331936545943810050 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 8) Here is proof that Mortazavi & 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. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 9) Listen to Mortazavi in a TV interview boast about having close ties with Team Biden. I recommend watching the video to the end. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331938341902823425 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 10)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. https://twitter.com/i/status/1331940836473524224 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 11)An important piece on NIAC by @michaeljohnsjr. The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) frequently echoes Tehran’s rhetoric in redirecting blame at the U.S. for Iranian aggression and malfeasance. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 12)NIAC was born from a 1999 white paper written by @tparsi based on holding “seminars in lobbying for Iranian-American youth & intern opportunities in Washington D.C.” & reducing “the taboo of working for a new approach on Iran.” Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 13)Last December, [NIAC] outrageously alleged that the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and U.S. forces elsewhere in Iraq were not the fault of the regime-backed militias that carried out the attacks, but rather of President Trump. http://iraniansforum.com/Document/irana Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 14)2019—NIAC president @jabdi echoed Iran’s conspiracy theory that Iran’s attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman—corroborated by the US, UK, Germany & regional allies—were false-flag operations “orchestrated” by the Trump admin to wage war on Iran. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 15)How Trita Parsi & NIAC Used the White House to Advance Iran’s Agenda “… organizing the grassroots and pressure US lawmakers to pose a more Iran friendly position.” Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 16)Former Iranian Official, Pro-Tehran Lobbyist Hosted at Obama White House Dozens of Times “Trita Parsi, a pro-Iran advocate long accused of hiding his ties to the Iranian government, met with Obama administration officials some 33 times…” Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 17)@hmousavian, a former Iranian official, also enjoyed unprecedented access to the Obama/Biden White House. Mousavian, dubbed as “Princeton’s Iranian Agent of Influence,” is known for his role in Iran’s assassinations abroad. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 18) While @Princeton University says Mousavian had a “distinguished career,” it is worth noting that he was Iran’s ambassador in Germany overlooking the September 1992 Mykonos restaurant killing of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 19)Iran's lobbyists found their way into the Obama White House. @saharnow of NIAC worked on the Iran nuclear deal & had very close access to Obama himself. If Nowrouzzadeh or anyone denies she was a NIAC member, her business card proves they’re lying. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 20)“NIAC’s most accomplished alum is Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, who is now National Security Council director for Iran in the Obama admin & the top US official for Iran policy, bringing together various departments working on US strategy toward [Iran].” https://t.co/quVfXgO3ZA?amp=1 Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 21) "A conservative website had published an article depicting Nowrouzzadeh as a Barack Obama loyalist who had ‘burrowed into the government’ under Trump and even had ties to the hated Iranian regime itself. " Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 22)NIAC has also established ties with senior figures in Washington. Jan 8, 2020 “Along with Reps. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) and Barbara Lee (D., Calif.), Sanders and Warren are scheduled to speak Wednesday evening with members of NIAC" Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 23) Iran apologists/lobbyists have established ties with Sen. Sanders. One individual is @hodakatebi, a regular at events held by NIAC. Katebi had called for burning the U.S. flag after the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the world’s number one terrorist. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 24)Iran lobbyists have established ties with Sen. Warren. Warren voiced gratitude for an endorsement from NIAC member @rezaaslan. Aslan has close relations with Iran’s regime & also makes disgusting remarks on Twitter. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 25)A look at some of Aslan’s latest tweets. For the record, Aslan was forced to delete that last tweet. However, these are quite telling of his character. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 26)NIAC has strong ties with Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT who had a secret meeting with Iranian FM Zarif during the Munich Security Conference back in February. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 27)“Murphy is a frequent speaker at the [NIAC], a lobbying group with alleged links to the Islamic Republic of Iran,” via The Federalist. Murphy criticized the killing of Soleimani, the world's most notorious terrorist, who also killed more than 600 US soldiers in Iraq. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 28) @brhodes also established remarkably close relations with NIAC & NIAC founder Trita Parsi. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 29)NIAC members have also gained foothold in the House of Representatives. @mahyarsorour is the Senior Legislative Assistant to Rep. @IlhanMN. Sorour was a candidate for NIAC Action's leadership board back in July 2019. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 30)@ethanazad is a staff member of @RepRashida who handles a "broad legislative portfolio, helping Tlaib’s office on foreign affairs… and government oversight." Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 31)@samira_says was a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of then @RepBarbaraLee. That could have potentially given her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 31) @samira_says was a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of then @RepBarbaraLee. That could have potentially given her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 33) Damning evidence: Airfare provided by NIAC for two Iran intel agents, Massoud Khodabandeh & his wife Ann Singleton, to come to the U.S. in 2008. Library of Congress issued a Pentagon-requested report describing the two as recruited by Iran's intel (MOIS) in the 1990s. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 34)NIAC founder Trita Parsi is now the VP of @QuincyInst, a Washington, D.C., think tank funded by George Soros that has promoted anti-Semitic voices and parroted pro-Iran talking points. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 35)Iran took advantage of Obama's appeasement & had its apologists/lobbyists push its talking points freely. They should not be allowed to continue. For starters, the U.S. should pursue an investigation into Tehran’s lobby arm NIAC. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 36) The State Department recently called on U.S. think tanks & other policy groups to publicly disclose how they are funded — or risk forfeiting access to top department brass. Note: NIAC should be demanded to disclose its funding. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi · 37)Why is all this important? Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray said recently that #Iran is working to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election. Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 38)"... we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails to intimidate voters, incite social unrest & damage President Trump. You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails." Heshmat Alavi @HeshmatAlavi 39)Thanks for taking the time to read this long thread. I believe all Americans should be informed about the threats posed by #Iran’s regime & its lobby arm NIAC in U.S. elections. If you agree, please kindly share this thread to spread the word. Best & Happy Thanksgiving
