In early 2009, when newly elected President Obama was forming his administration, there were some indications that Dennis Ross would be selected as the “Iran envoy” in the State Department. This nomination was bad news for a coalition of groups that lobbied hard to impose a friendlier policy with Iran. They considered Ross to be pro-Israeli and therefore hawkish towards Tehran.

The Iranian American Forum has received credible reports that M. Javad Zarif, the Iranian regime’s ambassador to the United Nations from 2002 to 2007, will soon travel from Tehran to the United States and will reside in New York to facilitate and coordinate the pro-Mullahs’ activities in the US.

Having previously served as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s personal translator, Majd now portrays himself as an independent journalist and astute Iran observer. Consistent with this persona, he has made the media rounds, publishing in prestigious publications such as Foreign Affairs. There are, however, numerous visible blemishes on Majd’s image.

As the new round of negotiations with Iran approaches, the US administration is sending friendly signals to the Iranian regime to show that the President is sincere in his overture. Barbara Slavin, has detailed several of Obama’s gestures toward the Mullahs. Meanwhile, Martin Indyk, has complained that the Israeli pressure and election year dynamics prevent Obama to reassure Tehran that he is not seeking a regime change

Trita Parsi wrote that economic and security incentives are necessary to convince Tehran to behave differently but they are not sufficient. The US should accept Iranian influence in the region and share the Middle East with the Mullahs

Political arena is not without its own share of “dirty jobs” and those figures who perform it. A case in point is Iran Experts who are well paid to clean mullahs’ images and spin their malignant intentions

Zakaria’s soft interview with Ahmadinejad, his friendly article about the regime and his advice to US administration to coexiste with the Mullahs should be interpreted as a campaign by special interest groups that try to prevent harsher sanctions against the Iranian regime.
