Iran Is Playing the Administration: Pakistan, the IRGC, and the MOU

At 56:10 · chapter starts 55:10

The foreign policy segment begins with Pakistan's prime minister announcing — while serving as a supposed neutral mediator in U.S.-Iran talks — that he is visiting Tehran to pay respects to the late Supreme Leader Khamenei and affirm Pakistan's 'solidarity with our brotherly people of Iran.' Shapiro calls this an open disqualification from mediator status. More damning is the Israeli intelligence report (C14) quoting IRGC commander Ahmed Vahidi: Iran has brought Trump to his knees, gotten everything it wanted, will keep Americans on a short leash, and will never spend released funds on American goods. A new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveals that Qatar's prime minister, during earlier negotiations, took Jared Kushner's laptop and typed edits directly into a U.S. draft document — a revelation Shapiro says is validated by a recent photograph of Qatar's PM visibly directing the Vice President of the United States.

An IRGC commander reportedly boasted that Iran got everything it wanted from the nuclear MOU, that the West is foolishly expecting reciprocity, and that Iran's goal is to keep America on a short leash until a more favorable president takes office. Pakistan, the supposed neutral mediator, simultaneously pledged solidarity with Iran.
