ACLJ Uncovers Deep State Secret - Sekulow TV

June 4, 2022

The ACLJ has now obtained proof through our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that “off-the-record” secret meetings between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Javad Zarif and “former US ambassadors and policy analysts” occurred while President Trump was in office.

In the FOIA lawsuit against the State Department that ensued, the ACLJ just obtained a never-before-seen “unclassified” October 2018 memo entitled, “Notes From ‘Iran and the US: An Off-the-Record Conversation with Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif.’”

According to this memo, the previously unreported “off-the-record meeting” took place at the “Iranian Ambassador’s Residence, NYC,” on October 4, 2018 – just days after major media coverage of Kerry’s admission of the secret efforts. The memo we unearthed contains notes on the former U.S. diplomats’ conversation with Zarif and his responses “to questions posed by a group of US former ambassadors and policy analysts.”

The key here is “former” – and the date, October 2018, right in the middle of the Trump Administration.

One thing we can say is, as we’ve previously told you, John Kerry, the former Secretary of State under President Obama, along with President Obama’s Middle East adviser Robert Malley, conducted secretive backdoor meetings with Iran while President Trump was still in office. Mind you, when originally questioned about it, Kerry denied having any secretive meetings with Iran, saying: “No, I haven’t had any back-channel on that issue since the decision was made to move out. And before that it was not a back-channel.” But it was Zarif himself who revealed Kerry’s denial to be less than truthful.

We will continue our fight to expose and defeat the Deep State.
