They have other people in the ecosystem, like Atrita Parsi, who talks to the Iranians.

This, just so you know, the NIAC, this guy Parsi, the whatever, Par- the person Parsi, they're the ones in charge of this, right? They started in 2002, "has faced intense scrutiny for past connections to the regime in Tehran.
Sal GrecoHOST
35:37
Discovery during a 2008 defamation lawsuit originally filed by NIAC revealed several emails sent by Parsi to then-Iranian Ambassador, uh, UN Ambassador Javad Zarif, attempting to arrange meetings with Congress members.
Sal GrecoHOST
35:53
Former FBI officials would later tell journalist Eli Lake that the attempts to arrange those meetings would require that person or entity to register as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Iran.
Sal GrecoHOST
36:07
A US district court judge later ruled that Parsi's statements were not inconsistent with the idea that he was first and foremost-

In July, this is true, Ana Marie Archila, Commissioner Mayor's Office for International Affairs, arranged a secret, unauthorized meeting with Iran Ambassador UN Envoy, Amir Saeed Irvani.
Sal GrecoHOST
38:02
The meeting was scrapped after the State Department intervened, and Mamdani said the meeting was made in error, and not one that originated from the office.

He connects through the Iran version of the ex-Android app.
Emily SchraderHOST
20:18
And who does Alon follow on social media? Abbas Aragchi, Javad Zarif, and the son of President Pazashkian.
Emily SchraderHOST
20:24
You know, your typical Tel Aviv voter.
Emily SchraderHOST
20:27
And then there's Rami Haddad, an architect who misspelled architect in Hebrew twice in his own bio.
Barbara SlavinGUEST
4:36
It has traditionally been a venue where adversaries can meet, and we've seen negotiations between the United States and Iran there in the past.
Barbara SlavinGUEST
4:47
I remember very well a meeting between then U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and then Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in 2013 that began there.
Barbara SlavinGUEST
4:58
or advanced the process toward getting a nuclear agreement.
Barbara SlavinGUEST
5:02
So what happened last week, I called it kabuki diplomacy, indirect contacts mediated by the Qataris, and then as we see now, rejected by President Trump, although there's some indications that maybe that's not final.
Hrvoje MorićHOST
14:34
And and you've been talking about Greenland and the technates, which is Trump tweeted out the other day, a U.S. flag covering Greenland all the way down to Venezuela and the former Iranian president.
Hrvoje MorićHOST
14:46
minister, Javad Zarif, in July, published for Foreign Affairs, the globalist magazine, talking about how we need a new Middle East.
Hrvoje MorićHOST
14:56
And effectively, in that article, he called for a Middle Eastern Union modeled on the European Union.
Hrvoje MorićHOST
15:02
And there was an article 10 years ago by Foreign Affairs talking about an EU-style Middle Eastern Union.

He'll never say this on video.
Billy CroneGUEST
25:48
He'll never say this in an interview because it would create World War III.
Billy CroneGUEST
25:51
But Benjamin Netanyahu has actually voiced that he believes he is the Israel prime minister that will see the rebuilding of the third temple.
Billy CroneGUEST
26:01
Then, that's not a surprise because I traced his background early on in politics.
Andrew MuellerCORRESPONDENT

In 2019, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi corralled Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta into a meeting which restored diplomatic ties between Mogadishu and Nairobi.
Andrew MuellerCORRESPONDENT
5:57
In 2013, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had a chat which substantially cleared the path towards an eventual deal on limiting Iran's nuclear program.
Andrew MuellerCORRESPONDENT
6:12
So things can be done at UNGA, even if, as certain of the earlier examples illustrate, they may later be undone.
Andrew MuellerCORRESPONDENT
6:20
The question that hangs over every UNGA, and over the UN generally, is how can more get done? A rigorous enforcement of the voluntary 15-minute limit for UNGA speeches has appeal, but the practicalities are daunting.
Negar MortazaviGUEST
31:16
That hasn't materialized into a national deal.
Negar MortazaviGUEST
31:18
But that meeting in itself was so historic because during the Obama-Rohani time, Javad Zarif, the foreign minister, was the highest official, Iranian official that met with the Secretary of State.
Negar MortazaviGUEST
31:30
And eventually that deal, the JCPOA, the successful diplomacy happened.
Negar MortazaviGUEST

was only signed at that level.

In 2014, the Council on Foreign Relations published an article literally titled EU-Style Middle Eastern Union.
Hrvoje MorićGUEST

Javad Zarif, two months ago, the former Iranian, I think, vice president, published an article for Council on Foreign Relations where he said we need a European Union-style Middle East.
Hrvoje MorićGUEST
40:41
So that explains...
Hrvoje MorićGUEST
40:42
And now you have the Mecca Agreement between Saudi...
VanceHOST
41:40
dude i hopefully this doesn't kill the flow too much but i like otherwise when we miss it if we uh gloss over too much coal and steel oh i thought it might be dude's names it's literally talking about coal and steel
Hrvoje MorićGUEST
41:55
yeah that's how it's the sc that was to bring the you know certain aspects of the european economies together and then over time that just they add more and more Pooling sovereignty, they call it.
Hrvoje MorićGUEST
42:09
And to your point, Javad Zarif in his article said that the Middle East needs to work on regional everything, to creating a collective regional nuclear arms agreement, connectivity, travel connectivity, all sorts of financial connectivity.
Hrvoje MorićGUEST
42:28
So yeah, that explains everything that's happening effectively.
