I believe so.

Rep. Omar pushes the "sanctions" talking point of Iran's regime seen in Zarif's tweets.
And NIAC picks up on Omar’s tweets.

Rep. Omar was angry over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to eliminate the world’s leading terrorist Qassem Soleimani.
Notice how Rep. Omar carefully described Soleimani as a “foreign official.”

For the record, here are more of Rep. Omar’s tweets pushing Iran’s talking points
-Trump wants war with Iran (which Trump actually prevented)
-Trump should reinstate (Obama’s) Iran nuclear deal
-Sanctions are “economic warfare” (getting it from Zarif himself)

Rep. Omar apparently doesn’t understand the consequences of her remarks?
When Iran’s official English TV outlet @PressTV praises her, she should make crystal clear her position about Tehran’s mullahs & distance herself from the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Finally, Iran took advantage of Obama/Biden’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. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/congress-seeks-investigation-into-pro-iran-lobby-group-tied-to-tehran-regime/
