Defecting Iranian Journalist: U.S. at Nuclear Talks ‘to Speak on Iran’s Behalf’
Breitbart ^ | 28 Mar 2015 | Jordan Schachtel

Posted on 03/29/2015 3:04:27 AM PDT by ScaniaBoy

An Iranian journalist who defected from his country while covering its ongoing nuclear talks has revealed startling information regarding America’s position at the negotiating table.

Amir Hossein Motaghi, who reportedly was employed at Iran’s state-run Iran Student Correspondents Association, told a London-based Iranian opposition channel that the U.S. was shilling for Iran in the ongoing negotiations over the regime’s nuclear weapons program.

“The US negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal,” Mottaghi told Irane Farda, according to UK’s The Telegraph.

Motaghi had previously worked on President Hassan Rouhani’s 2013 election campaign as his public relations manager, before moving over to working as a journalist in the tightly-censored country.

He is now seeking political asylum in Switzerland, after utilizing his opportunity to cover the talks in order to flee his home country.

Who wants to lay odds that this guy has a large bank account filled by the Mossad.

I am not suggesting that he is lying, or that Obama is not selling us out...I simply find the timing odd.

Hopefully, whatever he has to unload will undermine the Regime.

Which regime is an exercise left to the reader.

Or in Switzerland, or somewhere that neither Iran nor the US can do anything about it

In a way I can’t blame him for wanting to get out of there if he has half a conscience left or, possibly, even wants to save his own skin. It must look like madness ready to pick any random victim any day.

Possibly, or it appears odd just because you are not in possession of all the facts. This was reported in the original piece:

But he was also subject to the bitter internal arguments within the Iranian regime. One news website claimed he had been forced in to report to the ministry of intelligence weekly, and that he had been tipped off that he might be subject to arrest had he returned to Tehran.

But I'm sure that if the WH will have to answer any questions regarding this man, they will surely blame eveything on Israel.

This THING by some called our beloved and DEAR LEADER is hell bent on making sure that Iran gets nukes. It shows his contempt and hate along with the ones who pull his strings for Israel. The only thing they forget is that Israel has been around for thousands of years and will still be here long after they are gone and forgotten. In the mean and between time and in the long run there will be hell to pay should Iran get their wish.

“and that he had been tipped off that he might be subject to arrest had he returned to Tehran.”

Then he made a wise decision.

The timing is odd because we are approaching zero hour and the fate of the planet is at stake. Obama & Co. are leading us down the worst path since August 1939...
