NEW YORKu2014In many ways, Manhattan during the UN General Assembly is a choreographed show: awards dinners, media events, and grandiloquent speeches by the worldu2019s autocrats in the land of the free. Fidel Castro once lambasted the U.S.
Pezeshkian departed New York early Thursday following what Iranian state media described as a highly successful final meeting with the Iranian diaspora, including scientists, investors, and manufacturers. Tehranu2019s most-skilled diplomat and messaging man, meanwhileu2014former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarifu2014engaged in a round of media interviews with U.S. outlets and flatly denied U.S. accusations that Tehran was pursuing terrorist plots on American soil. The U.S. Treasury Department formally sanctioned Zarif in 2019 for serving as an agent of Supreme Leader Khamenei. But the Biden administration said this week it was diplomatically bound as host nation of the UN to allow the U.S.-educated official to come to New York.
u201CWe donu2019t send people to assassinate people,u201D Zarif told Ian Bremmer of GZERO Media. u201CI think thatu2019s a campaign ploy in order to get former president Trump out of the not-so-favorable situation heu2019s in in the elections.u201D
The Iranian dissidents fumed at the freedom Zarif and other Iranian officials were continuing to be given to roam Manhattan, even while the terrorist threats against them remain active. u201CThe only way to help Iran is that you support the people of Iran, rather than providing visas to its leaders or buying this narrative of reform,u201D Alinejad said. u201CWhat kind of reform is this u2018reformistu2019 Pezeshkian? This reformist is just good PR for Khamenei.u201D
