Bradbury, the General Counsel and the acting Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Iranian regime\u2019s cyber army published a fake letter attributed to Mrs. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>).<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230886\" title=\"fake-tweet-10122020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-tweet-10122020.png\" alt=\"fake-tweet-10122020\" width=\"400\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-tweet-10122020.png 335w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-tweet-10122020-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-tweet-10122020-150x89.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>The Department of Transportation quickly acted on November 23 against this fake account impersonating and using the official picture of Mr. Bradbury, prompting Twitter to inform the office of the Secretary that it had investigated and removed the account. (The documents related to the complaint filed by the Department of Transportation regarding this fake account, Twitter\u2019s reply, and decision to remove the fake account is available to the Iranian Resistance.)<\/li>\n<li>The speedy removal of the fake Twitter account undercut the calculations by the Iranian regime\u2019s Intelligence Ministry, which had expected the tweet to gain widespread traction. Thus, on November 24, to whitewash the scandal, the regime engaged in yet another ridiculous ploy, this time fabricating an article in a blog called Medium.com in the name of a Washington Post reporter, Ms. Yeganeh Torbati. That article reprinted the fake letter attributed to Mrs. Rajavi and added, \u201cTwitter suspended Steven Bradbury\u2019s account, the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) after releasing messages of people who offered congratulation on Trump victory in U.S. Election 2020.\u201d Ms. Torbati later confirmed, \u201cThat post is not written by me.\u201d The fake nature of the report was also confirmed by the Washington Post editors.<\/li>\n<li>On November 30, Tasnim News Agency falsely claimed, \u201cTwitter suspended the Twitter account of Steven Bradbury, the General Counsel to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The action came after he published messages by some people, including the ringleader of the MEK.\u201d It added, \u201cSteven Bradbury, who fully supported Trump in the 2020 election, shared tweets containing posts of people who believe in election fraud and consider Trump as the real winner.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In another clumsy step, the mullahs\u2019 cyber army published the fake letter attributed to Mrs. Rajavi on an NCRI letterhead, which she has never used. The fake nature of this letter is quite evident in its tone, language, and content. Anyone with minimum familiarity with the Iranian Resistance\u2019s lexicon and the messages and speeches by Mrs. Rajavi would quickly recognize that the letter has been fabricated in its entirety by the Iranian regime\u2019s cyber outfits. By doing so, the regime had attempted to drive a wedge between Democrats and the Iranian Resistance.<\/li>\n<li>This is not the first time that the mullahs\u2019 regime resorts to such scandalous and desperate ploys. On July 17, 2019, the regime used a fake Twitter account in the name of the General Consul of France in Jerusalem to report \u201ca trip to Israel by Mrs. Rajavi.\u201d Subsequently, France\u2019s Foreign Ministry denied that the \u201cfake Twitter account by France\u2019s General Consul in Jerusalem\u201d ever existed: \u201cThe Consul General of France in Jerusalem, Mr. Pierre Cochard, has been subjected to an identity theft on the social network Twitter.\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230887\" title=\"fake-news-10122020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-news-10122020.png\" alt=\"fake-news-10122020\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-news-10122020.png 279w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fake-news-10122020-150x99.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>On October 30, 2019, the regime published six anti-MEK tweets attributed to a fake account impersonating Alexis Kohler, Secretary-General of the French Presidency. The tweets got no traction in France, prompting two MOIS discredited agents, Massoud Khodabandeh and Siamak Naderi, to retweet them, which said, \u201cSecretary-General of the French Presidency announced that the [People\u2019s] Mojahedin [Organization of Iran, PMOI\/MEK] will soon be expelled from France!\u201d Enraged by this brazen ploy, the Elys\u00e9e Palace announced that the \u201cTwitter account did not belong to Alexis Kohler and that this French official did not have a Twitter account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NCRI\u2019s Committee on Security and Counterterrorism again underscores the imperative of denying the Iranian regime\u2019s access to social media. The MOIS and the IRGC cyber apparatus, while denying them to the Iranian public, only use these platforms to disseminate false and misleading reports and engage in demonizing dissidents to pave the way for terrorist activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" rel=\"noopener\">National Council of Resistance of Iran
