The Biden-Harris Admin promotes Iranian agent, Ariane Tabatabai, to Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. What could possibly go wrong? On the other hand, she will be the first Biden-Harris appointee to be fired on Day 1, after Donald Trump becomes president again.

Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian-born Pentagon official linked to Iran’s IRGC, has been promoted despite a recent leak of U.S. intelligence regarding Israel’s retaliatory plans against Iran. The leak, part of an FBI investigation, details Israel’s responses to Iran’s missile attacks. Critics have raised concerns about her loyalty, and while she faces scrutiny, the Pentagon claims she is not a subject of interest in the investigation. The situation intensifies as Israeli officials describe the leak as “extremely serious.”

Daniel Greenfield There were warnings about Tabatabai in 2021 when she was brought on board at the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, and the Biden administration fumed. Biden’s State Department Spokesman Ned Price claimed that she “was thoroughly vetted and investigated before being granted the position. Any suggestion of security-related concerns about Dr. Tabatabai are baseless and illegitimate.”

Then the Biden-Harris administration promoted Tabatabai to the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict. After current concerns were raised about her possible role in leaking classified information about Israel’s attack plans on Iran, the Biden-Harris admin decided to grant her another promotion.

Ariane Tabatabai, who was named in the media as the source of the Oct. 18 leak but whom defense officials said was not a suspect in the investigation, is now the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
