On September 29, 2023, news broke that the highest levels of the U.S. government had been infiltrated by Iranian spies.

Emails stolen by Persian expatriates from Iranian government servers revealed that the Tyrants of Tehran had been grooming second-generation Iranians to infiltrate and influence U.S. government policies toward the terror nation since at least 2014.

Eight days later, in what many have called the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11, the world watched in horror as Iran-trained and -funded Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 innocent Israeli civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. More than 200 civilians remain Hamas’ hostages, held in the bowels of the terror group’s tunnels beneath the hospitals, mosques, and community centers of Gaza.

Security experts around the world pondered what had caused the “massive intelligence failure” that allowed the attackers’ activities to go unnoticed, but those who read the September 29 exposé already knew: Iranian spies had infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government.

Joe Biden’s own special envoy to Iran and architect of former President Barack Obama’s Iran Deal, Robert Malley, was implicated as helping to “fund, support, and direct” the Iranian spy ring, even assisting the Iranian spies to get high-ranking jobs and top-secret clearances.

One of those spies, Ariane Tabatabai, is Malley’s protégé. Malley helped Tabatabai land jobs, first at the U.S. State Department, then later as chief of staff for Assistant Secretary of Defense overseeing Special Operations Christopher Maier.

As such, Tabatabai has had access to some of America’s deepest secrets and most sensitive information — particularly as it pertains to military intelligence regarding Israel.

Multiple emails from Iranian government servers show that Tabatabai sought direction from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) regarding Israel.

Despite those emails and the fact that the IRGC has now been shown to have trained, funded, and equipped Hamas for the October 7 massacre, Joe Biden’s Pentagon is REFUSING to revoke Tabatabai’s top secret security clearance!

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) joined Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) to deliver a demand letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, calling for “immediate action” to protect American and Israeli national intelligence from Iran’s spy ring.

“Iran continues to threaten U.S. military personnel in the Middle East and remains intent on assassinating American citizens here in the United States,” the senators wrote. “Given these facts, we find it simply unconscionable that a senior Department official would continue to hold a sensitive position despite her alleged participation in an Iranian government information operation.”

Ariane Tabatabai is not the only Iranian spy named in the September 29 bombshell report. The spy ring consisted of at least 14 other Iranian spies, including Ari Vaez, who visited the White House at least five times leading up to Biden’s 6-billion-dollar gift to Iran in September.

But despite the bombshell emails, clear evidence of spying, and links to perhaps the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11, the Biden administration is refusing to revoke ANY of the security clearances given to Tabatabai or her fellow Iranian spies.

While I am encouraged that some lawmakers are demanding answers from this administration, more of them need to take a stand to protect our national security interests.

Please take a moment RIGHT NOW to demand Congress conduct a full and thorough investigation of Joe Biden’s Iranian spy ring, and immediately revoke the security clearances of the accused Iranian spies.

Both America’s and Israel’s national security depend on it.

Please continue to pray for Israel. In Genesis 12:3, God promises to bless those who bless Israel. Israel needs YOUR blessing today!
