We Still Have an Iranian Mole Inside the Pentagon
13 Nov 2023 ~~ By Jazz Shaw
You may recall a stunning report (Inside Iran's influence operation | Semafor) from September that looked into an infrequently discussed Pentagon group known as the Iran Experts Initiative. In it, we learned about one of Joe Biden’s Iranian “experts” who was probably far too much of an expert in this field. Ariane Tabatabai is an Iranian-born aide and chief of staff to a Pentagon Assistant Secretary of Defense. She initially worked alongside the now-suspended Robert Malley on Biden’s efforts to restart Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. But the September report suggests she was working far more on behalf of the Iranian regime than our government. Still, she managed to keep both her new job at the Pentagon and her security clearance. Today, a new report (Pentagon aide part of âcovert campaignâ to undermine Iran opposition: report) was delivered to Biden revealing that Tabatabai was up to other activities. She worked on a covert campaign to smear the leading opposition group in Iran in support of the Iranian regime. And yet she is somehow still embedded inside of the Pentagon. (NY Post)
An Iranian-born Pentagon aide, who was revealed earlier this year to be part of a years-
long, Tehran-backed influence operation, also sought to undermine the leading group
resisting the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a new report delivered to President
Biden.
Ariane Tabatabai has retained her security clearance (Top Iranian Pentagon aide keeps security clearance despite ‘spying for Tehran’ accusation) and position as chief of staff to the
Pentagon’s assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict
— despite a bombshell Semafor (Inside Iran's influence operation | Semafor) report in September detailing her ties to senior Iranian
Foreign Ministry officials.
~Snip~
We have serious problems with Iran right now and the situation in Israel and Gaza has amplified them many times over. We are dangerously close to the point where we may have to take direct military action against Iranian assets, assuming Biden has the stomach for it. Will Ariane Tabatabai have access to information about such missions in advance? After all, she is supposedly an Iran Experts Initiative member. If she’s leaking information back to Tehran it could literally put Americans’ lives at risk.
Commentary:
In actuality we exposed Robert Malley several days ago and now Ariane Tabatabai.
But Tabatabai and founding members of the influence operation, Valarie Jarrett, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers known as the Iran Experts Initiative, were also engaged in a “covert campaign” to smear the nation’s leading opposition group, known as the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), according to a recent report endorsed by former vice presidential national security adviser Lincoln Bloomfield and written by a University of Baltimore professor.
Oops, I almost forgot John Francois Kerry our ultimate turncoat and friend of Iran thru marriage.
