There is a key difference between NIAC and AIPAC that reveals something important about diaspora advocacy. NIAC regularly publishes newsletters documenting human rights abuses by Iran’s government, shares domestic Iranian news, and amplifies diverse Iranian and Iranian-American

Everyone should read this account of the recent protests in Iran by an Iranian feminist activist. If you read nothing else about what is transpiring in Iran, read this. https://t.co/WIIPJO5uQS

I wrote for the @FT about Iran’s economic collapse, and how people of all strata have come to see the regime’s foreign and security policies as the cause of their immiseration. https://t.co/3ikhRVei02

New reporting by @nytimes confirms what NIAC has long documented: organized online operations are competing to dominate the narrative, overwhelm credible voices, and distort what’s actually happening on the ground. “This extends a yearslong competition for who is going to be the

The shutdown of online discourse within Iran has allowed both the government and its critics to flood social media outside the country with disinformation campaigns and fake images.

🚨As I said, Trump seeks to replace the UN with his "Board of Peace," which he'll be the forever president of; have total absolute control over; & will use beyond Gaza (e.g. Venezuela, Ukraine, Greenland) Billionaires, corporations, private contractors, mercenaries & Tony Blair
Trump's "Board of Peace" isn't just about Gaza; it's about replacing the UN & multilateral system with unaccountable billionaires, businessmen, politicians... The Board's founding charter calls for "a more nimble & effective international peace-building body," & "the courage to
