This will perk up your ears. Listen to his voice.

.@MehdirHasan & @TParsi can’t bear the fact that the #Obama years – described by #Iran’s media as the “golden era” – are over. Understandable. They & others alike benefited tremendously, while people in Iran & across the Middle East pay the price of Obama’s appeasement.

NIKK-This pic is only one of the four he posted with this statement.

US National Security Advisor John Bolton intends to lead an investigation focusing on #Iran's lobbyists & operatives active in social media.

The mere fact that @MehdirHasan interviews @tparsi & an ex-Obama official is quite telling (and biased). Parsi is a known #Iran lobbyist who fears of losing his job & millions of dollars from Tehran in case of the US exiting #IranDeal. Check out the hashtag #Shut_Up_NIAC.

NIKK-who is this Parsi?????

Iranian-born Trita Parsi advised the Obama administration during the restoration of diplomacy between Iran and the United States. It began with a phone call between President Obama and Iranian president Hassan Rouhani in 2013 and culminated with what’s known as the Iran nuclear deal in 2015.

Parsi.. “Whether subsequent administrations turn against that deal and sabotage it doesn't change the fact that this was an astonishing victory for diplomacy to be able to reach this deal in the first place,” Parsi said. The deal, he said, proves diplomacy is “far more effective than any other policy option.” The 159-page deal limits Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. The agreement has been politically charged, but its future is murky due to opposition from President Donald Trump. According to Parsi, terminating it would only strengthen radical voices within Iran.

“If that path proves to actually not work because the Trump administration undermines the deal, it's going to be the other side in Iran that is going to get strength, those who say 'no you can't compromise with the West, you can only meet force with force,'” Parsi said.

“We have one example of the United States being able to dramatically and significantly change a core Iranian policy and that is through this nuclear deal which was achieved through multilateral diplomacy. We have plenty of examples of the United States not being able to change Iranian policies.” Rather than attempting to renegotiate the deal and threatening to terminate it, Parsi suggests the U.S. join the Turks, Russians and Iranians at Syria peace talks in Astana, Kazakhstan.
