Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians during nuclear deal: Iran official

The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed. Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.

He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.

He claimed that the deal was made during negotiations for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached in July 2015. President Trump announced in May that the U.S. would withdraw from the agreement.

Get back to us when you have a legit cite.
 
Must be true it is on Infowars and FOX, along with Sean Hannity
 
Interesting article
There is no suggestion either of these people received citizenship in the wake of the Iranian nuclear deal. It’s also unclear if Zolnour meant citizenship or a green card.
In 2015, 13,114 people born in Iran were issued green cards, while 13,298 were issued one in 2016, according to figures from the Department for Homeland Security. In 2015, 10,344 Iranians became naturalized, with a further 9,507 in 2016.

If it weren't true, why would Zolnour risk strive and increasing uproar?
“Many ordinary Iranians are surprised and feel betrayed that children of the regime officials live and work in the U.S.,” Saeed Ghasseminejad, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based research institute, told Fox News. “The regime officials chant death to America but send their children to the U.S., away from the hell they have created in Iran over the past four decades.”

I'll wait and see how this develops.

Asked about the cleric's claim, a State Department spokesperson said: “We’re not going to comment on every statement by an Iranian official.”

Fox News analyst and former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf was dubious of the Iranian official’s allegation. “This sounds like totally made up BS,” she said.

The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment. A representative for Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also could not be reached for comment.

Parts of the government aren't commenting, but even a Fox News analyst said it sounds made up.

But can the President just grant citizenship to whomever?
 
will their children be kidnapped at the US border?
 
So the article has a claim by a conservative in the Iran regime which is basically shot down by practically everyone?

I guess they just wanted that title displayed on their website regardless of how no one seems to give the claim any credence.
 
GOP: Iran's full of **** and can't be trusted!

Iran: Obama did something bad

GOP: Well hold on a minute they might be on to something

From your link: Fox News analyst and former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf was dubious of the Iranian official’s allegation. “This sounds like totally made up BS,” she said.

So all that's really going on here is that Fox reported that an Iranian with an axe to grind (since Trump doesn't want to honor the deal and generally) said bad things about Obama, and then Fox also expresses the opinion that's the Iranian is bull*****ing, and your decision is to treat the Iranian's statements as truth.

Way to divert from your crap thread, it was a Fox cite you used, and your intent was obvious. Why not get a job that pays, eh?

Ahmedinajad shamelessly denies the holocaust in public, and yet, we don't trust Iran to be shameless? It may or may not be true, no one is really commenting on it, but still, the fact is, Obama loved Iran so much that, no one would be surprised by this, and that's the problem.

Wow, OP based on lies posted by a conservative, I am shocked.

Obama recognized what neocons are either too stupid or too stubborn to understand; that Iran's not an isolated dictatorship that we can **** with and not suffer any repercussions, it's a growing regional power that sits on the lifeblood of the world economy, and if we want any chance of establishing a successful strategy in the Middle East we need to recognize that fact.
