Michael McFaul, former ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, had a unique take on the growing protests against the Iranian regime. We were expecting a similar take from Ben Rhodes, the biggest cheerleader of the Iran deal, but his Twitter feed seems to have gone silent for the moment, so this will have to do.
I support the Iran nuclear deal AND democratic change in Iran.

That’s nice.

He does know, obviously, that the regime the protesters are trying to dismantle is the same one that brokered the Iran deal with the Obama administration, right?

That’s pretty much exactly what he’s saying.

Those pallets of cash probably bought a whole lot of bullets for the police to fire at protesters.
Your problem is that you think the former actually incentivized the latter. https://t.co/j6PJxbd9dh

Pro tip: you can’t do that. Also, if there’s a free Iran, there is no need for a deal. https://t.co/Ij1kyZd3TH

Hilarious. The "deal" was a full on capitulation while receiving nothing in return in an attempt for Obama to have a ForPol legacy. It failed everyone miserably. https://t.co/v9l86K5AJC

Well, I guess you can claim that the deal helped to bring about the protests since the money it provided to the regime was used to finance IRG, Hezbollah and the Syrian war – which is what the protests are about.

Maybe you should have mentioned that to your old boss in 2009 when he was giving the democratic revolutionaries the back of his hand.
