Good opportunity for @CrisisGroup to discuss a range of issues with @antonioguterres; thank you for your kind words about the impact and difference our work is making.
Today @CrisisGroup @UN.
Protecting civilians in conflict zones is not just a strategic necessity, it’s a moral imperative. Met President & CEO of the International Crisis Group @CrisisGroup, @EroComfort to discuss ongoing efforts to protect civilians & ensure access to humanitarian aid in Gaza &…
“People can reasonably disagree about how to manage the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program. But ICG urges all involved to avoid basing serious allegations about our work on the claims of Iranian officials/individual media reports” @CrisisGroup crisisgroup.org/united-states/…
As co-Chair of the Board of the @CrisisGroup I want to share this important information. In times when the truth is often blurred, @CrisisGroup stands to make its case clear. crisisgroup.org/united-states/…
.@CrisisGroup notes the letter from members of Congress to DOJ. We value good governance and compliance & are confident that we fully comply with U.S. law. Here is our full statement ⬇️ crisisgroup.org/united-states/…
@semaforben @AliVaez @CrisisGroup 3/ Also, are you confirming it was an Iranian leak? Or was it another govt's intel that gave Iran International the emails? Do you know? There’s no reflection of what might have motivated the hack/leak in any of pieces except Steve’s (which we really appreciate you putting out)
@semaforben @AliVaez Ben that’s not true. We pointed out repeatedly to your team that European donors funded the IEI. We did that well before you published the first piece, let alone the second. It's not an "interesting tidbit" – it's undermines the notion of an "Iranian influence operation"
My @CrisisGroup colleague @AliVaez responds to the scurrilous charges against him and @DEsfandiary, exposing the shoddy journalism (and political motives) behind them.

It took one phone call from one columnist to find out the #UK funded this initiative. They, and their allies, were well briefed and informed of all activities

6/6 How come Semafor's pieces failed to have any critical analysis into Iran International's track record, agenda and funding? Why would they need a partner to publish the findings? And can we look forward to an editor's note that corrects past reporting and admits: "Oops"?
5/ This should raise some serious questions about the methods and biases behind all these attacks. How come the reporters missed all this if their documentary sources were so compelling? Was contradictory evidence ignored in favor of a certain narrative?
4/ As recently as Friday's follow up article, Semafor's reporter was still framing it as "Crisis Group disputed Semafor's description" and "declined to name" the funder, as if we're making it up. Of course not.
3/ In his piece today, @SCClemons rightly not only explains the context to this engagement during the nuclear negotiations, but also gets confirmation that the UK government knew, and supported the expert dialogue.
2/ The reporters didn't know until we pointed it out to them that it was supported by European donors who were fully read into the proceedings. ICG didn't solicit the grant & so we were not in a position to divulge that the UK funded the initiative.
Semafor & Iran International spent months amplifying IRI officials’ claims about co-opting me & @DEsfandiary, & attacking @CrisisGroup's work over the "Iran Experts Initiative". Semafor’s own @SCClemons just put to bed this obvious lie by confirming UK backing of IEI.…
In a strange coda, Semafor’s @SCClemons has written a rebuttal of his own colleague's piece on @CrisisGroup. The mistakes in Semafor's earlier reporting need to be corrected. semafor.com/article/02/06/…
It took us roughly 5 minutes on Google to debunk claims like these👇🏽 from both Semafor & Iran International. In 2014, when the nuclear negotiations were underway & IPIS had new leadership, many more institutions - Western & otherwise - formally engaged IPIS. Again, no correction
UPDATE: @semafor believes 2014 & 2018 come after 2021! They refused to correct inaccuracies despite seeing attacks Tehran lodged @CrisisGroup prior to 2021. Presumably, these attacks don’t fit their narrative…or perhaps Tehran calling @AliVaez a CIA agent isn’t an “attack”!

.@CrisisGroup debunks nonsense spread by the opponents of any diplomacy with Iran. Building bridges between adversaries in a world torn apart by conflicts is an essential task, and @CrisisGroup’s efforts in this area are necessary and widely appreciated.
