For the President

And his team investigating human rights funds: Your team temporarily stopped these funds, but the ban must be permanent. The money never helped Iranians—it was misused for personal gain and even supported the Islamic Republic’s interests.


Here’s the evidence: A translation of a tweet by

Thread: #FundGate

The story of the funding cuts and the scandal of these organizations has exposed a 16-year-long operation where millions of dollars were taken without producing real results. Every time, they found a new excuse to collect money—once for VPNs, then for AI, and another time for so-called "hidden human rights" projects, all of which became business opportunities for activists in this field.

Now, we are exposing the names of individuals whose work will end once their funding is cut off. 1) Fatemeh Haghighatjoo

•Former member of the Iranian Parliament (from the reformist camp)

•Currently resides in the U.S.

•Supports the "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogan Fatemeh Haghighatjoo can be called the "Mother Teresa of Reformists."


As soon as she arrived in the U.S., she abandoned her revolutionary and "model Islamic woman" image and became one of the key recipients of human rights funds in America.







Here is some evidence from an organization with the following board members:

•Nazi Eftekhari

•Ramin Jahanbegloo

•Fatemeh Haghighatjoo Documents show that she received large amounts of money. For example, records from 2014 indicate hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding.



This raises an important question: If the U.S. government wanted to fund projects, why didn’t it follow the official process? Why did the money first go through Haghighatjoo and her team before being distributed? What is the missing link? Documents from 2014



and other records show that this fund-receiving organization gave $300,000 to the Balaatarin team—basically transferring money from one hand to another, all while U.S. taxpayers unknowingly funded it.

Then, in 2019-2020, the organization funded an entire project for two groups: 1.Hame Ba Ham ("All Together") 2.Shora ("Council") They justified this by claiming it was for "non-violent activism to democratize Iran" and "respectful listening to different opinions." However, the amounts received and distributed don’t match, raising serious concerns. This clearly requires official investigation.



2) Masih Alinejad

•From the reformist camp

•Lives in the U.S. •Supports the "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogan Masih Alinejad has received large amounts of funding through various channels. To keep this thread short, we will focus on just one example.

3) The Boroumand Family – A Business Under the Name of Activism

•Closely aligned with reformist ideology

•Based in the U.S. and France

•Supports the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement

•Receives an average of $1 million per year in funding The Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation has turned activism into a profitable business.



They wield the "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogan like a weapon, using it as a brand to attract more funding. Wherever LGBTQ+ issues are more visible, their business thrives, and the opposition industry expands. But what about the real LGBTQ+ community—those who actually need support? The answer: almost nothing.




4) The Vast Organization: Iranian Diaspora Collective •Based in the United States •Main supporter: Hillary Clinton •Strongly backs the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement










This organization is deeply connected to both the visible and hidden power structures in the U.S. government. If seen as a network of intelligence, political, and economic institutions, it may be using diaspora groups for the following purposes: •Political pressure: Diaspora groups can play a key role in lobbying and influencing policymakers.










5) Moj & Roya Rostegar

•Strongly supports "Woman, Life, Freedom"

•Lives in the United States

•Backed by Hillary Clinton Funding records suggest that this financial support helped them escape a major business bankruptcy and return to their profitable business ventures.






6) Mehdi Yahyanejad

•From the reformist camp

•Previously close to Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi •Supports the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement

•Has ties to Fatemeh Haghighatjoo









Yahyanejad started with $360,000 in funding, but over time, he received millions for projects like the Balatarin websiteand the Tosheh app. These funds have made him financially very comfortable. The Haghighatjoo-Yahyanejad case is one of those projects that produced no real results—just propaganda. Wherever there is funding, Mehdi Yahyanejad is there too.

7) The Pooarand Foundation & Its Affiliates

•From the reformist camp

•Supports the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement •Based in the United States Azadeh Pooarand (daughter of Siamak Pooarand and Mehrangiz Kar) runs the Pooarand Foundation, which has received funding from DT. This money was then redirected to organizations linked









to Shima Babaei, Ahad Ghanbari, and others. Mafia-Like Tactics: The funds are distributed step by step to lower-level individuals, forming a network of financial and political dependency. The goal? To ensure that the lower-tier groups remain indebted to the higher-tier organization—which ultimately serves









the Democratic Party, led by Hillary Clinton. 8) Shesh Rang Organization – Shadi Amin •Funding amounts remain unclear due to a lack of transparency

•However, one confirmed case shows that €123,000 was allocated under the name of the LGBTQ+ community—with no clear explanation of how it was spent. Where did the money go? No one knows.









9) VPN Sales Scandal – An Example One of the many funded organizations is "Rostam," which alone received around $500,000—supposedly for VPN services. But was the money actually used for that purpose? Unclear. This is just one example of how these funds are distributed under different pretexts.

10) Maziar Bahari & IranWire

•Supports "Woman, Life, Freedom"

•Resides in Europe Maziar Bahari, the head of IranWire, has built this platform with over $3 million—all funded by U.S. taxpayers. His work is filled with false information and terrorist propaganda, to the point where even his own allies no longer support him.




Bahari openly promotes dangerous extremists and, every year, uses millions in funding to label saboteurs and radicals as "influential women" or "figures of the year."









Final Note We will pause this thread for now, but remember: countless organizations continue operating under the pretense of human rights, VPN services, and free speech—all while engaging in profitable "revolutionary business." Those who fear losing their funding are many.

Now, the same network connected to these VPN-selling groups—like Iran International

@IranIntl

 —uses biased journalists and unverified claims to spread false statistics.

•First, they claim 20 million users supposedly pay huge amounts daily to buy VPNs










The next day, that number jumps by 5 million unique users and suddenly reaches 25 million, all in the name of "human rights." They shout lies without oversight and try to deceive U.S. authorities while ignoring the billions spent daily on VPN purchases. This thread can continue…
