1)
RED FLAG
Meet @ManaKharrazi, a members of #Iran’s lobby in Washington, who has very close relations with certain DC politicians.
2)
Khrarrazi will introduce herself as the Executive Director of Iranian Alliances Across Borders ( @IAABsays).

Now let’s dig into what Kharrazi will not tell you.
3)
Kharrazi has very close relations to @NIACouncil, Tehran’s main DC-based lobby group.

Iranians hate NIAC & use this hashtag to describe the group:
#NIACLobbies4Mullahs
4)
Kharrazi has close relations with Samira Damavandi ( @samira_says).

Damavandi is a NIAC member & a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of @RepBarbaraLee.

That could potentially give her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data.
6)
Kharrazi also has close ties with @codepink, which often gathers various NIAC members & alumni such as @jabdi, @tparsi & @samira_says, alongside other die-hard Iran apologists such as @barbaraslavin1.
7)
More of Kharrazi’s close ties with Codepink members Lily Tajaddini ( @lilytaj5) & @YosiBadie.

BTW, Tajaddini’s Twitter bio reads: “NH GOTV Operations for @BernieSanders
8)
Kharrazi was at the Obama White House during an Iranian New Year (Nowrouz) festival along with @nargesbajoghli, another Iran apologist/lobbyist who pushes Tehran’s talking points in U.S. media, including, of course, the @nytimes.
9)
It is also worth noting that Kharrazi’s IAAB & NIAC also have close ties with the controversial group CAIR ( @CAIRNational).
10)
Another image depicting Kharrazi’s close relationship with @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib.
11)
It is also worth nothing that Kharrazi easily travels back and forth to Iran, including as early as November 2017 to Kermanshah, western Iran.
13)
Furthermore, in the case of the recent deportation of Shahab Dehghani, an Iranian student studying in the U.S., Kharrazi’s IAAB were among those protesting this measure.

Thread below sheds more light.

Conclusion?
Yours to make.

I believe there should be an @FBI/ @DOJPH investigation into Mana Kharrazi’s relations with Iran’s regime.

Thanks for reading this thread.
I welcome any & all constructive feedback.

Have a good weekend!
