United States President Barack Obama employed representatives and experts to hold secret high-level talks with Iran and Syria months prior to his election as president, organizers of the meetings told Agence France Presse on Monday.
Over the past few months, Obama campaign and election officials, as well as nuclear non-proliferation experts, had several "very, very high-level" contacts with Iranian leaders, according to Jeffrey Boutwell, executive director for the U.S. branch of the Pugwash group, a Nobel Prize-winning international organization of scientists. Former defense secretary William Perry, who served in Obama's election campaign, also participated in some of the meetings, which included discussions on Iran's nuclear program and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Though Boutwell refused to name other participants, he said they were senior figures in the Iranian and US governments.
The United States and Iran have had no official diplomatic relationship since the overthrow of the Shah and the institution of the Islamic Republic, 30 years ago. The U.S. accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons.

But now it's all about Russia, Russia, Russia...
the mass-hysteria media covered up for the entire 8 years of enemy occupation of the American White House
and continues to try to undermine USA’s defenses and anyone who might try to defend this country
freedom of the press was not intended to shield outright treason, imho
Yeah and he gave them billions of dollars.
No problem because Iran and Syria are such honorable and wonderful countries.
They love freedom of individuals and are excellent American allies.
(End sarcasm!)
It may have been TREASON to communicate with these countries at that time. We had no official relationship with either country.
Obama did it? Nobody cares.
Didn’t Obama put Putin in charge of Syria’s chemical weapons? And didn’t the media think this was genius?
Yes, good point re chemical weapons.
Hillary sold our uranium to Putin. Bill was doing half million dollar speeches (payola) with Russian business interests. Podesta’s lobbying firm took tens of millions from Russia.
The MSM has exposed itself with its treatment of Trump as American Pravda. Thank God for the internet. It’s been the equalizer and no wonder Dems want to shut it down.
Because he is the Magic Negro
