This. This Iran bs was peddled after the first attempt.
I’m just repeating what was in the NY Times article by the person who interviewed Routh.
He could be making it up, I don’t know what his motivation would be.
.
He wrote a book and professed his love for Iran.
How do you tell a Russian troll? They always downplay Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas because they are their allies.
He is pro Palestine and that does fit the profile. The Ukrainians turned this jackass away he admitted that himself that they didn’t want his help. He is associated with another jackass named Vasquez and another guy who Katzinger also promoted and who was involved in a fraud scheme using Ukraine to raise money for their own use. Got charged with fraud. Probably one reason Katzinger resigned.
Maybe this guy is pro Palestine or maybe he was just using these issues to fund his own ambitions too. We don’t know yet.
But, he fits Iran’s MO of using Americans to conduct assassinations in the US that goes back to their using a black activist in 1981 to assassinate a former diplomat of the Shah.
That guy is currently working as a propagandist in Iran and was involved in some way in the disappearance of Levinson who later turned up as a hostage and died there.
