Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) participated in what organizers branded a "strategy call" with members of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a pro-Iran advocacy group, on Wednesday.
The presidential hopefuls reportedly participated in a call on Wednesday with the group, which describes itself as a "nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the voice of Iranian Americans and promoting greater understanding between the American and Iranian people." However, the group has been known to push pro-Tehran policies and has been accused of lobbying for Iran and the Iran deal, which resulted in billions in available funds for the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.
The group played a role in the propaganda blitz to push the Iran deal to the public alongside former President Barack Obama's national security aide, Ben Rhodes, who was largely responsible for crafting the media "echo chamber" on the deal. His ties to the group run deep, as he delivered the keynote address at the NIAC leadership conference in 2016.
The group also has ties to the Iranian regime. NIAC co-founder Trita Parsi has worked closely with senior Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in attempting to spread pro-Tehran propaganda over the years. He was also spotted speaking with President Hassan Rouhani's brother in Switzerland in 2015.
"Internal documents revealed as part of a failed lawsuit against an Iranian dissident journalist that Parsi and NIAC have been maintaining a years-long relationship with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif," as Breitbart News reported.
The call also included the groups MoveOn, Win Without War, Indivisible, and About Face: Veterans Against the War. Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) also participated.
Both representatives are pushing additional measures to restrict President Donald Trump's ability to respond to Iran with force. ...
A "strategy meeting" between Americans who loathe their country and insidious agents of the murderous theocracy of Iran. Let's call this what it truly is = treason.
