Well, that would certainly make sense. Daniel Greenfield has noted that “in September 2023, Pentagon Chief of Staff Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian immigrant, was accused of having worked as an agent of the Tehran regime. Dissident media outlets produced emails that allegedly showed that Tabatabai had joined an initiative by the Iranian Foreign Ministry 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.”
“Pentagon Employee Suspected of Leaking Retaliation Plans to Iran,” by David Israel, Jewish Press, October 22, 2024:
A Pentagon official accused Ariane Tabatabai, an assistant to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, of leaking top-secret documents to Iran.
A Pentagon official told Sky News in Arabic that the investigation being conducted by intelligence agencies in Washington into the leaking to Tehran documents of the IDF plan to strike Iran has begun to indicate “suspicion” of the involvement of a senior employee in the Pentagon.
The American official added that the employee suspected of leaking the documents is an American of Iranian origin named Ariane Tabatabai.
Ariane Tabatabai is an Iranian-American scholar of political science, writer, and senior policy advisor to the United States Department of Defense. After the Biden administration took office in January 2021, she joined the US negotiating team in nuclear negotiations with Iran. Between 2021 and 2022, she served as an advisor to Robert Malley, the chief promoter of pushing a deal with Iran at any cost.
Members of the US Congress, especially Republicans, have pointed out that Robert Malley was investigated after being suspected of having dealt with classified information without prior permission and of having secret contacts with Iranian figures.
Tablet Magazine accused Tabatabai of being an Iranian agent (High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington).
We Iranians always knew who Ariane Tabatabai is. We tried to warn you.
She has now been implicated by @IsraelHayomHeb as the person who leaked Israel’s attack plans to the regime in Iran.

While awaiting the results of the official investigation, the official explained that the intelligence and armed services committees in Congress had been informed of this matter, especially since the suspect had a “top secret clearance that gives her the right to view highly classified information.”
According to the information obtained by Sky News Arabia, the suspect Ariane Tabatabai, who has not been convicted yet, works as the director of the office of the Assistant to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for Special Operations and International Conflicts….

Traitor

Andrew, I doubt that Ariane Tabatabai ever considered herself an actual American…
Bob M says
Yes- and at one point in our history we used to hang traitors.
Maybe it’s time to build some gallows in D.C.
Gourdhead says
That time was long ago.

How is an immigrant – even a naturalized one – allowed to take such a high security job in the government? I was under the impression that not only were such jobs for citizens only, but for citizens by birth. It’s pretty foolhardy for any country to allow naturalized citizens – however loyal they may be – into such high levels of power, as this incident shows
Also, I’d be very surprised if she’s the only one in the administration leaking stuff to Iran. I suspect that a lot of other bureaucrats w/ intifada sympathies would be in it as well
somehistory says
Good questions, Infidel. It’s all corrupt, as if they actually want iran to win….which means they would go down too, being Americans.
OLD GUY says
DEI hire probably. She should be executed as a traitor during a time of war. Her actions may have cost the lives of our allies and maybe even American citizens.
SC says
She should be executed for treason even now.
Homer Bedloe says
Why is a native Iranian working in the Pentagon in the first place? Our government officials are too stupid to be in charge. Whoever hired her should be fired along with “No Show” Austin and the idiot Blinken.

They want America to

Oh GOD Almighty, please bless America, again. Please help our children and grands to recognize this evil and endurance to defeat it.
Troybeam says
Question is this: how many spies have been working in our military area? How many were allowed to pass information with others knowing what they were doing and did nothing?
The leftist military personal need to retire and or be fired from the military as traitors for not defending our nation but aiding and abetting the enemy.
Gourdhead says
Spot on.
somehistory says
She should never have been given the job…any job…in the government. Much like that iranian woman who is such close friends with bo, helping the enemies to grow in strength as they are given inside information.
When she was ‘investigated’ before, she should have been sent packing. And it is ***possible**** under the law to retract citizenship in a case like hers.
Now, she should be in lockup along with any and all persons who put her where she could commit these crimes against the State.
and along with the leaking of the plans, leaking of the weapons to be used were part of the documents.
Giving her the job with such high security clearance is inexcusable. Heads should roll.

Newsweek
“The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday announced murder-for-hire charges against an official from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Ruhollah Bazghandi—a brigadier general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a former Iranian intelligence officer—and three other men were charged in an updated indictment against those accused of trying to kill Iranian American author and human rights activist Masih Alinejad. Bazghandi is not in custody.
“The Justice Department has now charged eight individuals, including an Iranian military official, for their efforts to silence and kill a U.S. citizen because of her criticism of the Iranian regime,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.”

Trust a liberal to recruit a spy. So much for national security, vetting and BG checks. An agent of the USA’s most vocal self declared enemy.
Keys says
Austin should have been fired a long time ago.
SC says
Wonder if she was a good screw. Under a decent government Austin would have been politically tarred and feathered for this.

Austin should have been fired a long time ago.

Now isn’t that just special?
And completely to be expected for this Obama/Biden/Harris atrocity of an administration.
MD Anthony says
Under Biden Harris …just so long as Spies and Espionage agents meet DEI requirements, no security vetting would be required because White house advisor Valerie Jarret (Iranian Shiite)would say security clearances for Iranians is racist .
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin would have no problem with that so long as spies only undermines White America.

Accused Iranian agent in Pentagon suspected of leaking Israel’s retaliation plans to Iran
………………………………….
Looks like the Pentagon’s vetting process is pretty lax–it might have been considered “Islamophobic” if they had balked at elevating an Iranian Muslim so high…
Jim Harmon says
Let’s face it: Biden and Harris are Iranian agents as well.
