Ugh. Yesterday Michael Oren said it wasn’t Ghalibaf, but someone else in IRGC.
I don’t see how turning Iran into Myanmar helps to free the Iranian people.
EXCLUSIVE FROM TEHRAN: “You took all the money, and now your soldiers are suffering because there are no salaries. Give back what you stole.”
These are remarks by Iran’s Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, obtained by Senior Iran Analyst Dror Balazada. Ghalibaf’s comments reveal his desperate attempt to hold his jihadi coalition together, “I don’t trust you to stop the Americans at Kharg and Hormuz.”
Balazada shows how relentless American and Israeli attacks on the IRGC have pushed Ghalibaf, a corrupt, yet intelligent regime official, to be the one pushing for a deal with @potus
