What Iran's penetration of Washington means -

  Caroline Glick (jewishworldreview.com)

This state of affairs is dangerous for the security of the United States. And it sends a clear message to Israel and other U.S. allies threatened by Iran.  Unless Washington cleans its house, it must be considered compromised.

"There is something terribly disturbing about the current state of Washington's foreign-policy establishment.

"Tuesday we were hit with the blockbuster reports by Semafor and Iran International exposing the depth of Iran's infiltration of the U.S. foreign-policy establishment and the Biden administration. The two simultaneously published reports revealed how beginning in 2014, Iran's Foreign Ministry established a circle of agents in Washington and Europe, which it referred to as the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI). Members of IEI were comprised of Iranian emigres sympathetic to the regime and its nuclear-weapons program.

"The experts were seeded in think tanks. The Iranian Foreign Ministry flew them to strategy sessions in various cities in Europe. The experts published a steady stream of articles supporting Iran, justifying its nuclear activities; sponsorship of terrorism; denial of civil and human rights to Iran's citizenry; and misogyny; among other things." . . .
