Iran deal architect is running Tehran policy at the State Dept.
Conservative Review ^ | March 14, 2017 | Jordan Schachtel

A trusted Obama aide who once worked for an alleged Iranian regime lobbying group is one of the individuals in charge of Iran policy planning at the State Department under Secretary Rex Tillerson.

Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, the Iran director for former President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), has burrowed into the government under President Trump. She’s now in charge of Iran and the Persian Gulf region on the policy planning staff at the State Department.

To make matters worse, Nowrouzzadeh is a former employee of the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), a non-profit that is accused of being a lobbying group for the Iranian regime. NIAC’s current president, Trita Parsi, has long held close relationships with top officials in the Tehran dictatorship. In February, a group of over 100 prominent Iranian dissidents called for Congress to investigate NIAC’s ties to the Iranian regime.

One of Nowrouzzadeh’s primary duties under President Obama was to promote initiatives that pushed the Iran deal. As President Obama’s NSC director for Iran, Nowrouzzadeh sat in on high-level briefings along with President Obama, former VP Joe Biden, and former Secretary of State John Kerry, as top White House staff crafted false narratives on the Iran deal to sell to the American public.

According to the head of a state-run Iranian newspaper, Nowrouzzadeh was an essential element to pushing through the Iran deal. Editor-in-Chief Emad Abshenass said that she opened up a direct line of communication with the Iranian president’s brother. “She helped clear a number of contradictions and allowed the entire endeavor to succeed,” Abshenass said of her efforts.

WTF? No wonder Trump said that Tillerson was stupid. Time to send this beotch to Greenland, to negotiate with the natives there. Replace her with someone who hated the Iran deal.

I heartily agree with your passion . “I’m locked & loaded” is not a weak statement either. Maybe at some point it will come to that particular position in action; although I highly doubt it-but being forearmed is also being forewarned.

I think many Trump supporters including myself are seeing a certain disconnect in who he is placing in positions that actually matter to the health, safety & welfare of the US.

It doesn’t appear there is much of the Obama planted governmental infrastructure that Trump is actually changing or some of the nominees he presenting for top positions.

I also find there seems to be a disconnect with Pres Trump and his Cabinet - there are no press releases nor information released to show & explain how they are working together for POTUS & “carrying the banner forward” in draining the swamp. SImply , there’s no unified message coming from the WH and while the msm may dilute & attack POTUS personally-it’s also a and pls make note of this next thought of mine- the MSM is not attacking the president’s cabinet!!!

POTUS needs a more effective snake handler. Sometimes I wonder who the f* is giving him advice, seriously.... it’s like molasses in january getting things off the ground.

I must say one thing- you just can’t beat Sara Sanders she is simply the BEST!.

You know, grown men have resigned from the same position but not her!! no Ma’am!!!

Her style is great and she’s so down to earth & calls those crazies from the msm out.

I really enjoy how she conducts the press conferences.

She’s really beyond the BEST! she don’t take no sh*te
