Khazei:
“What matters is how do we get Trump out of the White House.”
Use young energy to “finally break the log-jam in Congress, break the back of Mitch McConnell.”
“That’s what I am talking about.”

Khazei’s close relations with high-profile figures have helped him raise significant cash.
“Khazei, however, has been one of the most successful at raising cash so far, and ended March with more than $780,000 cash on hand...” https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/07/metro/obama-alum-susan-rice-endorses-alan-khazei-race-kennedy-seat/

Khazei opposed Trump’s order to kill Qassem Soleimani, the world’s number one terrorist who led militias in killing, injuring & dislocating millions of innocent people across the Middle East.
Soleimani also killed at least 600 U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

Khazei was angry over the deportation of Shahab Dehghani.
Dehghani is the son of Kamal Dehghani Firouzabadi, a former Iranian MP with close ties to senior regime officials, including @JZarif, former parliament speaker Ali Larijani & Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

A long & interesting list of Iran apologists/lobbyists, especially those with ties to Tehran’s DC-based lobby groups, were protesting Dehghani’s deportation.

Now it gets even more interesting:
Khazei is endorsed by @NIACouncil/ @NIACActionPAC, another known Iran lobby group in the U.S.
NIAC has very close relations with PAAIA, Iran’s first official DC-based lobbying organization.

Obama & Rhodes invited a former Iranian ambassador @hmousavian & NIAC founder Parsi to the White House over 30 times to hammer out the 2015 nuclear deal.
The same deal that gave Iran access to $150 billion in credit & $1.8 billion in unmarked cash. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/former-iranian-official-pro-tehran-lobbyist-hosted-obama-white-house-dozens-times/

PAAIA is an official Iran lobby org in DC.
NIAC, however, denies any such lobbying for Tehran.
Take a look at #NIACLobbies4Mullahs to see how Iranians feel about NIAC.
And listen to this former regime insider explains how NIAC was launched by @JZarif.

Iran is spending a massive amount of money to place its figures in the U.S. legislature.
This makes it even more imperative to:
-be informed & inform others
-call on your representatives & senators to investigate into Iran’s lobby groups in the U.S. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/congress-seeks-investigation-into-pro-iran-lobby-group-tied-to-tehran-regime/

TY for reading & I welcome all constructive feedback.
And since I have a feeling there will be a backlash from pro-Iran regime voices on Twitter accusing me of being a “fake” account, I’ll leave this link from my blog that debunks those claims. https://bit.ly/2Xs3xgo
