@tparsi enjoyed good relations with the Obama administration, which of course, provided 8 years of appeasement for #Iran’s regime to take advantage of & lead to the highly flawed #IranDeal.
This you’ll find interesting about Parsi & @NIACouncil:

About @AzadehMoaveni, I once had a debate with her & accused her of being an #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist.
She has signed a @NIACouncil document & @tparsi RTs her, which says it all for me.

Here’s a look at Moaveni’s tweets:
Whatever opinion you may have of the late Senator McCain, this is very disrespectful. She is literally describing his passing away as a “ray of hope.”

Here’s Moaveni tweeting against regime change in Iran, playing into the interests of the mullahs’ regime. This literally says keep the mullahs’ in power.

And here’s Moaveni tweeting in support of regime President @HassanRouhani, a man who has presided over 3,500 executions during his tenure & was directly involved in the crackdowns of #Iran’s 1999, 2009 & the recent Dec/Jan uprisings.

Instead of responding to my allegations of being an #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist, she chose to block me.
I rest my case about Moaveni.

Remember I mentioned @hmajd a few tweets back? He also blocked me after I challenged him to condemn #Iran’s regime for the execution of Kurdish political prisoners #RaminHosseinPanahi, #LoghmanMoradi & #ZaniarMoradi.

In response, instead of condemning a heinous execution, @hmajd blocked me.
Again, I rest my case.

The next time an outlet runs a program about #Iran & sees the likes of @JZarif, @tparsi & @AzadehMoaveni promoting their work, they should know they are siding with Iran's regime, not the people.
