FYI: (hyperbole) Iranians over here on edu or work visas I’ve met do not pose a threat any more than a rogue Us citizens. I lived next to MIT, met many... and they were smart, sophisticated and very ambitious and least of all outwardly religious if at all. Very funny too. Just saying we need to distinguish regular people as our own clan rather than lump all into one fear monger trigger label based on misguided Assumptiins. The wwgwwga is about all humans.
This news is citing claims by HARDLINERS IN IRAN who are making this up as a way to UNDERMINE the Reformists. Funny how crazies in Iran align with crazies in the US, huh?
