How Is the Iranian Regime’s Lobby in Washington Using Iran’s Budget to Infiltrate Media and Distort Iran’s Freedom Movement?
While the people of Iran are fighting for regime change, the nefarious lobby of the Iranian regime in the United States is working to distort the narrative of events.
The lobby attempts to portray the protests as a struggle for reforms rather than regime change. The people of Iran do not seek reforms; they are demanding regime change.
This lobby is not merely a group supporting Iran-America relations; they are an active part of the Iranian regime’s apparatus in America.
Currently, lobby activists are attempting to redirect the protests toward the issue of mandatory hijab or economic pressures. They cling to anything that allows them to avoid acknowledging the reality—that the people are saying no to the Islamic regime.
In fact, the lobby’s main argument is that the West should reach an agreement with Iran and lift sanctions; however, this is not what has caused these protests.
The founder of the lobby, Trita Parsi, and activists such as Negar Mortazavi, Eli Krameyme—a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations—and Hadi Ghaemi—a hijabi fashion influencer—have all called for the lifting of sanctions.
It should be noted that this lobby cannot exist as an Iranian regime lobby without hatred for Israel and antisemitism.
Beyond their propaganda arm, which accuses American officials of serving Israel, they have also provided financial support to the campaigns of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, two of the most antisemitic members of Congress. Ilhan Omar has even received an award from them!
Now, while sanctions have made life harder for Iranians, if these sanctions are lifted while the Islamic regime remains in power, none of that money will reach the Iranian people; instead, it will go to terrorists in Syria, Yemen, or Gaza, or perhaps into the pockets of the leaders of the Islamic Republic.
And this is the primary reason the lobby works so hard to lift sanctions.
The lobby wants to preserve the Islamic regime at any cost, but the regime is not reformable. The problem for the Iranian people is not the economy or mandatory hijab; it is the lack of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, free press, due process, torture, corruption, financing of global terrorism, gender apartheid, and more.
This is why the rich and poor, young and old, men and women are all protesting in the streets of Iran. They share one common goal: the end of the Islamic Republic.
Reducing protests to merely hijab issues combined with economic circumstances is a slap in the face to those who have lost their lives in this struggle.
This lobby cannot be trusted.
