"The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails.
The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets.
They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.
On Thursday, Maier told a congressional committee that the Defense Department is “actively looking into whether all law and policy was properly followed in granting my chief of staff top secret special compartmented information.”"

— Like I said 2 months ago, Iran's approach to Armenia and Azerbaijan is purely pragmatic, Iran is not Armenia's 'ally'
Forwarded from Middle East Spectator — MES
— 🇮🇷/🇦🇿/🇦🇲 NOTE: It is important to keep in mind that Iran is not Armenia's 'ally' in this conflict
Many news outlets like to spread the claim that Iran supports Armenia, and that if a wider war were to break out, the Islamic Republic would take Armenia's side.
On the contrary; in 2020 the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated the following:
"These lands [Karabakh] belong to Azerbaijan, which has every right over them. Territories seized by Armenia must be returned and liberated.
However, the security of Armenians who live in these lands must be secured. A war threatens the security of the region, and the issue must be solved diplomatically."
It is very clear from these statements that the official position of Iran is not one of support for Armenia, but rather one of tacit support for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, although stressing the need for diplomacy.
Nevertheless, Iran has repeatedly made it clear that the internationally recognised borders are a red line for them, and that it will not allow Azerbaijan to establish the so-called Zangezur corridor, or to change the current borders of Armenia.
If this situation were to take place, and Iranian trade routes were compromised as a result, the Islamic Republic would most definitely intervene, as the Iran - Armenia border is instrumental in the flow of goods to and from Russia.
Not long ago, the IRGC and Artesh (regular military) of Iran held drills near the Azeri enclave of Nakhchivan in a show of force to the Baku regime, stressing that if their red line is crossed, they will intervene.
Iran has always had decent relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, so it makes sense for them to take a pragmatic and nuanced approach.
