Yet another scandal to tag onto the Biden administration. A shocking new report has uncovered a link between one key Biden official and a ‘high-level’ Iranian spy ring.
The Biden administration has been caught in a major scandal involving the infiltration of U.S. government negotiations over Iran’s nuclear enrichment program by academics and experts on the payroll of the Iranian government.
Robert Malley, a former official at the State Department, is said to have recruited and trained these outside influencers with an Iranian heritage in order to influence U.S policy towards Iran during critical discussions concerning sanctions and assurances that its nuclear capabilities would not be weaponized.

Some of these spies had previously worked with Malley when he was president at the International Crisis Group (ICG) from 2018-2021 prior to joining the Biden administration however, several were denied positions due to damning emails where they pledged loyalty to Iran’a Ayatollah.
One particular individual, Ali Vaez wrote about his “national and patriotic duty” to influence U.S policy on behalf of his adopted home, meanwhile Ariane Tabatabai wrote about how she co-authored a paper for ICG which found that Iran should not be expected to reduce its quantity of enriched uranium as part of its agreement with America – both receiving funding from an arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards who formed The Iran Expert Initiative (IEI).
Peter Theroux, a veteran Mideast analyst retired from the CIA spoke out against this scandal revealing it “seems clear who’s subordinate here—what you’d call responsive to tasking” in relation to emails sent between Tabatabai, Vaez and other individuals involved in this covert operation.
He cited it as being ‘plausible evidence’ that what is occurring could be seen as spying activity conducted by those loyal or sympathetic towards Iran’s leadership in order to gain what is most advantageous for them in terms of nuclear negotiations which would go against American interests if successful.
This news uncovered by Semafor and Tablet serves as an eye opener for Americans as it appears there are those within our own government working counterproductively towards our interests all while using their expertise or backgrounds as means for disguise.
The Biden administration responded quickly rejecting any characterization made by Tablet Magazine labeling this operation an ‘Iranian spy ring.’ Citing privacy concerns, a spokesperson stated Rob Malley remains on leave but they did confirm Ariane Tabatabai was appointed due her expertise regarding nuclear foreign policy matters.
