In 2015, while Tabatabai was consulting for NATO, serving as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Kennedy’s Atom/International Security Program and teaching at Georgetown University, the Iranian government was bragging about her propaganda.
Then the Biden-Harris administration promoted Tabatabai to the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict.
Back in September, I did a deep dive on Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian immigrant who emails appeared to show appeared to have been coordinating with Iranian government officials.
Ariane Tabatabai personally forwarded her propaganda articles, including one claiming that Iran really needs nuclear energy and doesn’t intend to use it as a weapon.
Before Tabatabai testified about the Iran Deal in Congress, she allegedly checked in with the head of an Iranian Foreign Ministry think tank.
There were warnings about Tabatabai in 2021 when she was brought on board at the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, and the Biden administration fumed.
In one leaked message, Tabatabai emailed her handler her article, co-written again with Esfandiary, titled, “Meeting Iran’s nuclear fuel supply needs”.
18 leak but whom defense officials said was not a suspect in the investigation, is now the deputy assistant secretary of defense for force education and training within the Office of the Secretary of Defense under U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Politico reported.
After current concerns were raised about her possible role in leaking classified information about Israel’s attack plans on Iran, the Biden-Harris admin decided to grant her another promotion.
