The Iran deal essentially green-lights Iran’s nuclear program and led
to Obama showering billions of dollars upon the Islamic Republic. Why
is Sahar Nowrouzzadeh still in the State Department at all, much less
being in charge of Iran policy planning? Trump ran for the presidency
denouncing the Iran deal. The Trump administration is clearly in deep
confusion.Nowrouzzadeh is a former employee of the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC). NIAC (of which Leftist establishment media darling Reza Aslan and Leftist “academic” Juan Cole are Board members) has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam “documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost.
“Iran deal architect is now running Tehran policy at the State Department,” by Jordan Schachtel, Conservative Review, March 14, 2017:
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….

EXCERPT: "Breitbart News has found that a person with the same name has previously written several publications on behalf of NIAC. According to what appears to be her LinkedIn account, Nowrouzzadeh became an analyst for the Department of Defense in 2005 before moving her way up to the National Security Council in 2014."

SAHAR NOWROUZZADEH’S MISSIONS
DOUBLE AGENT?
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The appointment of an American
woman of Iranian origin, Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, as a Persian- speaking
spokeswoman for the US State Department, can be described as the highest
level of Obama’s flirting with Khamenei and Rouhani. This action has
also partially revealed the hidden truths about the secret ties among
the treacherous alliance – Iran, the United States and Israel – and is a
qualitative leap in the relations between America and Iran, from out of
the shadows into public view.
Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, whose upgrade to a
diplomatically sensitive position in the United States suggests that she
is a double agent for both the Iranians and the Americans, is a member
of the Iranian lobby, which operates in the United States in order to
open lines of communication and encourage compatible views between the
Iranian and US officials. Moreover, all of her upgrades to various
official positions tend to benefit the Iranian regime, such as her work
for a year at the Iranian-American National Council, as well as having
positions that served the American side, such as holding the position of
Director of the Iran section of the US State Department and the
position of Director for Iran in the US National Security Council.
There is a pivotal and strategic
relationship that brings Tehran and Washington together and aims to
exchange interests at the expense of the countries in the region,
including Russia, which is currently considered the most powerful ally
of the Iranian regime. Tehran is seeking to gain the Americans’
confidence and build secretive relationships and agreements with it that
could serve the expansive Persian project in the region in return for
concessions offered by Iran to the United States. However, the latter is
trying to use the Iranian regime as a tool to preserve its own
interests and keep the Middle East at America’s mercy by ensuring the
continuation of conflicts and wars, which only came about due to the
interventions of the Iranian regime and its agents in the region such as
Al-Houthi in Yemen, ISIS in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria.
The 34 year old Nowrouzzadeh would not
be able to reach such positions without an American- Iranian agreement
on this person, as one who worked behind the scenes to achieve
US-Iranian interests by coordinating the objectives of both parties away
from the eyes of the Iranian people, who are more used to hearing the
slogans “death to America” and “death to Israel” from the leaders of the
Iranian regime, who still claim the existence of a feud with America
which is referred to as ‘the Great Satan’.
Sahar Nowrouzzadeh was born in the
American state of Connecticut for Iranian parents who are originally
from the Iranian city of Isfahan, in 1982. She received her Bachelor’s
Degree in international affairs from the School of International Affairs
at George Washington University, and a Master’s Degree in Persian
studies from the University of Maryland. She speaks several languages,
most notably Persian, Dari, Spanish and Arabic. She worked for almost a
year in the Iranian lobby, National Iranian American Council, (NIAC),
which is pro-Tehran regime in the United States. After that, she worked
as director of Iran Department at the US National Security Council and
then served as the director of Iran Department at the US Foreign
Ministry.
Nowrouzzadeh is one of the individuals
close to the US President Barack Obama as well as his Secretary of State
John Kerry, who had a major role in reaching a nuclear deal with
Tehran. Nowrouzzadeh was also working as a member of the US president’s
office on the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the G6 in
conjunction with her presence in the US National Security Council. The
main task for Sahar Nowrouzzadeh is to coordinate all those agencies and
offices whose jobs are connected the Iranian affairs and to communicate
with them. She also participated in several counseling sessions with
President Barack Obama during the Iranian nuclear negotiations.
Earlier, the US media raised
controversial questions about the activity of Nowrouzzadeh and revealed
that the individual responsible for the Iran file in the US National
Security Council, Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, is engaged in a lobby that is in
active support of Tehran in the United States.
The United States wants to maintain its
control over the Middle East through the use of the Iranian regime and
the Zionist entity, and is currently working, through the expansion of
the Iranian lobby and the Zionist lobby in the United States, on
bridging the gaps between Tehran and Tel Aviv leaders in order to
distribute interests among the three parties in the Middle East.
