Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians during nuclear deal: Iran official (FLASHBACK 7/2/2018)

The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.

Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.

He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.

He claimed that the deal was made during negotiations for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached in July 2015. President Trump announced in May that the U.S. would withdraw from the agreement.

So we withdrew from the agreement. Does that mean their citizenship was revoked though?

The administration of The Greatest Fraud Ever was replete with traitors. Oh, that they would receive the Justice that they so richly deserve.

I'd be willing to bet their citizenship process was fast-tracked and probably not entirely legal. Revoke, deport and put that gay muslim bastard with them.

They still get full welfare, Section 8 houses,cell phone and plan, no deductible health plan and monthly food stipend. Going from citizens to proud illegal alien terrorist spies. "Don't worry--it's just change."--self-help leader the late Louise Hay.

Has this been verified by anything other than the word of some Iranian official? Has there been a state department list of these 2500? It seems like an odd request from adversaries.

Would it be so damned difficult to get John Kerry to comment on this?

If only 1% of them are Iranian agents we now have 25 ticking time bombs in the country to worry about. Wonder how many of them will be checking into Trump hotels to create havoc.

HOW many will turn out to be IRGC QUDS force members, and how many of not all, approved by Valerie Jarrett? Will there be a follow-up to locate and investigate 2500 potentially dangerous legalized entry “Obama specials”?

I don’t believe citizenship can be granted by Executive Order. I would like to see more detail on this as would most of us on FR. Anyone now details??
