The corruption of every major American institution by the left has picked up speed under the Biden administration. In its morning newsletter, the Washington Free Beacon notes:
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: Making plans for a symposium on deterrence, U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) decided that a top Iranian official cum Princeton professor, Hussein Mousavian, would make a good keynote speaker. Mousavian last made headlines when he was captured on Iranian television smirking about the regime’s threats to assassinate U.S. officials. He showed up in Nebraska to lavish praise on the defunct nuclear agreement and urge mutual nuclear disarmament. Our Adam Kredo has the story.
The Beacon’s note draws attention to Adam Kredo’s story “US Strategic Command Hosts Former Iranian Official Who Bragged About Efforts To Assassinate US Leaders.” Subhead: “Hussein Mousavian headlined STRATCOM’s Deterrence Symposium.”
I have posted the video of Mousavian’s talk below. The idea that military personnel sat there and listened to it at their invitation is…disturbing.
Quotable quote (former State Department Special Advisor for the Iran Action Group Gabriel Noronha): “The decision to invite former Iranian ambassador Mousavian to speak to STRATCOM is unimaginably foolish. He is a pawn and propaganda agent of the Iranian regime, which explains why he is allowed to travel back to Iran.”
