For over a decade, Afrasiabi pitched himself to Congress, journalists and the American public as a neutral and objective expert on Iran, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers said. \u201cHowever, all the while, Afrasiabi was actually a secret employee of the Government of Iran and the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations (IMUN) who was being paid to spread their propaganda,\u201d Demers added. While Afrasiabi had penned numerous articles and had been interviewed by several top-tier publications and news broadcasters, he had never declared that he had used his position to spread the propaganda of Tehran. Acting U.S. Attorney Seth DuCharme said, \u201cAfrasiabi allegedly sought to influence the American public and American policymakers for the benefit of his employer, the Iranian government, by disguising propaganda as objective policy analysis and expertise.\u201d Interestingly, Afrasiabi has frequently posed for photographs with high-profile regime officials such as former president Mohammad Khatami, current foreign minister Javad Zarif, and Mahmoud Vaezi, the Chief of Staff of regime president Hassan Rouhani. This is a privilege that is only offered to Iranian expats who are very cozy and friendly with the Iranian regime. Among Afrasiabi\u2019s key missions was to promote the appeasement policy with the Iranian regime. Afrasiabi is also closely tied with the Iranian regime\u2019s known lobbyists in the U.S., including Princeton Professor Hossein Moussavian, the regime\u2019s former ambassador to Germany. Previously, in 2009, Afrasiabi attended an event hosted the Iranian regime\u2019s mission at the United Nations and criticized media coverage of the regime\u2019s brutal crackdown on nationwide protests. Afrasiabi was also closely tied to the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a known and disgraced lobby of the Iranian regime in the U.S. Afrasiabi was also actively involved in demonizing and discrediting the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) through his channels in western media. In an article in the Columbia University\u2019s Journal of International Affairs in 2019, Afrasiabi described the MEK as a \u201cfringe group\u201d and reiterated his support for appeasing the regime. According to the Justice Department\u2019s statement, \u201cSince at least 2007 to the present, Afrasiabi has also been secretly employed by the Iranian government and paid by Iranian diplomats assigned to the Permanent Mission of the IMUN. Afrasiabi has been paid approximately &#36;265,000 in checks drawn on the IMUN\u2019s official bank accounts since 2007, and has received health insurance through the IMUN\u2019s employee health benefit plans since at least 2011.\u201d While Afrasiabi awaits to face justice, it should be noted that his case is not an isolated one. Over decades, the Iranian regime has spent the Iranian people\u2019s wealth and resources to implant many such agents in the U.S. and Europe. These individuals pose as journalists, experts, and sometimes regime opponents, while in reality the push the regime\u2019s agenda against the Iranian Resistance and a firm policy toward the regime. Afrasiabi\u2019s case is a cautionary tale for all politicians and media to think twice before heeding the words of so-called experts who openly endorse a terrorist regime whose hands are drenched with the blood of millions of innocents across the world. https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/kaveh-afrasiabi-iranian-regime-agent-us-20210121\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian Media Admits to MEK Role in Sanctions and Protests<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-234014\" title=\"Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021.jpg\" alt=\"Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Iran-state-media-MEK-28012021-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As infighting among the Iranian regime grows, the state-run media is openly admitting that the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) is playing a vital role in organizing the resistance against the regime, both by the Iranian people and the international community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a Sunday editorial, the state-run Mardom Salari daily admitted that increased sanctions against the Iranian regime could be linked back to the PMOI\/MEK\u2019s revelation about the mullahs\u2019 nuclear weapons program in 2002.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/infightings\/iranian-media-admits-to-mek-role-in-sanctions-and-protests\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran news in brief, January 28, 2021<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Iran news in brief, January 28, 2021\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_yx45QbnBfCY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fyx45QbnBfCY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yx45QbnBfCY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M19S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-01-28T10:41:18Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_yx45QbnBfCY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fyx45QbnBfCY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Iran news in brief, January 28, 2021<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yx45QbnBfCY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fyx45QbnBfCY%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Iran news in brief, January 28, 2021\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Iran news in brief, January 28, 2021 Iran: COVID-19 Death Toll in 478 Cities Exceeds 207,300 Over 207,300 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 478 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Wednesday.
