How are they in Washington, with Iranian funding, influencing the media and distorting the Iranian freedom movement?
While the Iranian people are fighting for regime change, the Iranian regime's lobby in the United States is busy trying to distort the narrative.
NAAC is trying to portray the protests as a fight for reform, not regime change. The Iranian people do not want reform, they want regime change.
NAAC is not just a group supporting Iran-US relations, but they are an active part of the Iranian regime's body in the United States.
Currently, NAACP activists are trying to deflect the protests into the issue of compulsory hijab or economic pressures. They are grasping at anything they can to avoid acknowledging the reality that people are saying no to the Islamic regime.
In fact, Nayak's main point is that the West should reach an agreement with Iran and lift sanctions, when this is not what caused the protests.
NAIQ founder Trita Parsi and NAIQ activists such as Negar Mortazavi, Ellie Kranmae, a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Heda Katabi, a veiled fashion influencer, have all called for the sanctions to be lifted.
It is worth noting that Nayak would not be a lobbyist for the Iranian regime without hatred of Israel and anti-Semitism.
In addition to their propaganda arm, which accuses American officials of working in the service of Israel, they have also funded the campaigns of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, two of the most anti-Semitic members of Congress. Ilhan Omar has even received an award from them!
Now, while sanctions have made life more difficult for Iranians, if these sanctions are lifted while the Islamic regime is still in power, none of that money will reach the Iranian people; instead, it will end up in the hands of terrorists in Syria, Yemen, or Gaza, or perhaps even end up in the pockets of the leaders of the Islamic Republic regime.
And this is the main reason why NAIQ and its activists are working so hard to lift the sanctions.
The NAACP (reformists) want to preserve the Islamic regime at all costs, but the regime is not reformable. The problem for the Iranian people is not the economy or the compulsory hijab, but the lack of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, a free press, lack of due process, torture, corruption, financing of global terrorism, gender segregation, etc.
That is why rich and poor, young and old, men and women are all protesting in the streets of Iran, with one common goal: the end of the Islamic Republic regime.
Reducing protests solely due to the economic situation is a slap in the face of those who have lost their lives in this struggle.
Nayak is not trustworthy.
