\r\n\tAn American political expert has sent a letter to the Qods News Agency, warning about the possibilities of a Zionist exploitation of the recently agreed nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 group. The letter follows.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t"Dear Friend,
\r\n\t 
\r\n\tIn the revealing article, below, a Jewish-Zionist writer is remarkably frank in urging enemies of the Islamic Republic to use the new “openness” to subvert Iran.
\r\n\t 
\r\n\tAs he urges and explains, Zionist and US agencies and organizations must take advantage of more open relations between Iran and other countries to undermine and subvert the Islamic Republic. This is nothing new, of course. Zionist and US agencies have a long record of undermining regimes that resist their power.
\r\n\t 
\r\n\tRegards,
\r\n\t

\r\n\tThe Deal With Iran: How to Make Lemonade Out of Lemons

\r\n\t... It is an extraordinary moment in world history, perhaps a turning point, based, as many such moments are, on an extraordinary convergence of lies and self-delusions. But for those interested in the two goals of an Iran free of nuclear weapons and free of religious fascism, perhaps it is also a moment of opportunity. Iran is about to undergo a kind of opening to the world. Taking advantage of that is now a vital goal for Western intelligence and public diplomacy. It is the art of the making lemonade out of lemons.

\r\n\tWestern businessmen are already flooding into Iran seeking deals, selling all manner of wares in exchange for Iranian cash. Those businessmen, the various branch offices they will establish, and the goods they will sell, represent an important opportunity for Western intelligence agencies to gather information and to subvert the Iranian regime.
\r\n\t 
\r\n\tOne simple method are thumb drives, containing viruses to disrupt computer networks, encryption tools to evade official Iranian surveillance and firewalls, and perhaps even Western music, literature, and movies to subvert repressive traditional values, and classics of Western political thought to inspire Iranian society toward a liberal democratic future. Jazz and rock, blue jeans and samizdat literature played roles in the collapse of communism; their 21st century analogs should be enlisted to help Iranian society reform itself.
\r\n\t 
\r\n\tIn reality, this sort of ‘subversion’ should have been an important goal for Western public diplomacy and intelligence work all along ...
