Iranian agent Pentagon Chief of Staff: is there a connection to the 3 dead soldiers?

Why in the world did the Biden administration allow Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian immigrant who in September 2023, had been accused of having worked as an agent of the Tehran regime, to be hired as Pentagon Chief of Staff? 

How were the terrorists able to perfectly time their drone attack to coincide with the return of an American drone in order to confuse our military into believing it was friendly? How could they do it without inside information?

Dissident media outlets produced emails that appeared to show that Tabatabai had joined an initiative by the Iranian Foreign Ministry as a way to coordinate operations and that she had even run her congressional testimony on Iran’s nuclear program past the head of an Iranian Foreign Ministry think tank. 

Holy cow!

The David Horowitz Freedom Center and Front Page Magazine had been among those to take the lead in warning about the potential danger posed by her and enemy agents in the Pentagon.

Tabatabai, a Shi'a Muslima, had served under Biden's Iran Envoy, Robert Malley.

Malley, in turn, had been suspended from the Obama campaign for his backchannel contacts with Hamas, and has been under investigation for mishandling classified documents. But the emails appeared to show that Tabatabai had personally worked for Iran and its influence operations aimed at the U.S. government.

Despite that she continued to be promoted until she is now the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC). 

This month, Iranian-backed terrorists launched their most successful single attack against an American base to date and three young soldiers died. The bastards targeted the living quarters where U.S military personnel were stationed on an obscure support base in the Jordanian desert known as Tower 22. The two women and one man who died, were killed in their beds, 30 more were wounded.

Normally, the drone would have been intercepted, but somehow, some way, the Iranian-backed terrorists had the timing of the arrival of their weapon perfectly timed, making anyone tracking it think it was ours.

How did the Iranians know the location of the living quarters on the base as well as knowing what our procedures for drone arrivals and departures were, and when one of our drones would be returning?

Tower 22 is located close to Syria and Iraq. It was one of the bases that we helped Jordan build up during the Syrian Civil War. Under President Barack Hussein Obama, it was a key element for supporting the Syrian Sunni rebels, while under Trump, it focused on fighting ISIS forces in Syria. 

Syrian Sunnis fleeing the country passed by, some were allowed to enter Jordan, while most, including some Sunni Jihadis, had to remain in what became known as the Rukban refugee camp.

The proximity of the Rukban camp to Tower 22 and the nearby Al-Tanf base would provide plenty of options for “refugees” to monitor and track the movements of American drones. But Tabatabai’s presence in Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict raises another troubling possibility. Tower 22 was used as a jumping off point by special operators and the U.S. presence in that area falls under the shadow of the SO/LIC office--her domain.

Special operators had been stationed at Al-Tanf and the SO/LIC office would have potentially had access to a great deal of information about what was going on at Al-Tanf and Tower 22. This is probably why she ended up in the office, not in spite of her ties to Iran, but directly because of her ties.

Tabatabai could have been seen as a potentially useful backchannel for an office that was likely unofficially coordinating with Iran anyway. That would explain her initial role as a senior advisor.

But by elevating a former Iranian agent to a chief of staff of an office overseeing special operations, the Biden administration, the Pentagon and the SO/LIC may have been gambling that they could control that backchannel and that would have been a catastrophic mistake.

Late last year, 30 Senate members had urged the Pentagon to suspend her security clearance. Guess whih Party they belonged to.

“Iran continues to threaten U.S. military personnel in the Middle East and remains intent on assassinating American citizens here in the United States. Given these facts, we find it simply unconscionable that a senior Department official would continue to hold a sensitive position despite her alleged participation in an Iranian government information operation,” the Senators warned.

“Dr. Tabatabai was thoroughly and properly vetted as a condition of her employment with the Department of Defense,” a Pentagon spokesman claimed. “We are honored to have her serve.”

You can take that honor and, you know where to shove it.

When the lives of our brave military personnel are on the line and there are doubts as to their safety based on doubts of the personnel in place to help ensure their safety, then it is far better to err on the side of caution.

And it is later discovered that Tabatabai was involved in their deaths based on intelligence she may have provided the enemy, then a firing squad would be in order.
