Did John Kerry Commit a Crime When He Spilled Intelligence Secrets to Iran?<\/a><\/p>\n

I mean, it\u2019s not a headline that would scream \u2018John Kerry is a bumbling idiot.\u2019 It simply reads: \u201cIran\u2019s Foreign Minister, in Leaked Tape, Says Revolutionary Guards Set Policies.\u201d Hey, being that Iran is the largest state-sponsor of terrorism, that\u2019s not quite shocking. What is shocking is what\u2019s buried towards the end of this story featuring Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran\u2019s foreign minister, which our friend Ed Morrisey wrote about over at Hot Air earlier today. John Kerry is at it again, spilling secrets to Iran about covert actions against them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s literally at the end where the publication discusses the rocket attack that was launched as a US base in Iraq after Donald Trump decided to turn Iran\u2019s top terrorist, General Qasem Soleimani into an ashtray in January of 2020 (via\u00a0NYT<\/a>) [emphasis mine]:<\/p>\n

On the night that Iran decided to retaliate against the United States for the killing of General Suleimani, two Quds Force commanders went to see the Iraqi prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, to inform him that in about 45 minutes Iran would be firing missiles at a military base where U.S. troops were stationed, Mr. Zarif said. The Americans knew about the strike before he did.<\/p>\n

Former Secretary of State John Kerry informed him that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, to his astonishment, Mr. Zarif said<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Come again? This isn\u2019t the first time Kerry has acted against the interests of the United States. After Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Kerry\u00a0allegedly engaged in \u2018shadow diplomacy\u2019<\/a>\u00a0to keep the shoddy Obama-era Iran Deal on life support at least. Hey, isn\u2019t this a Logan Act violation?<\/p>\n

Remember,\u00a0these are the Left\u2019s rules<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Ed\u2019s take<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0The New York Times\u2019<\/em>\u00a0interesting placement for this \u2018hey, by the way\u2019 bit in their Iran story about Kerry:<\/p>\n

The decision to bury this lede speaks more to the leadership of the NYT. While no one would be surprised to hear that Israel carries out covert operations against Iran, why in the world would an American Secretary of State pass that information to a regime that leads \u201cDeath to America\u201d protests in its streets? Isn\u2019t this the real news in the US, especially with Kerry now joining another administration as its \u201cclimate change envoy\u201d? At best, this shows that Kerry is enormously and irresponsibly indiscreet; at worst, he\u2019s exposing American intelligence to an enemy in order to attack an ally. And frankly, it looks a lot more like the latter than the former, and a lot more like an actual crime by a high-ranking US government official.<\/p>\n

And the NYT thinks the big story here is \u2014 and I quote from the lead paragraph \u2014 \u201cZarif said the Revolutionary Guards Corps call the shots, overruling many government decisions and ignoring advice\u201d? Seriously?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clap it up for John Kerry, who should be investigated for spilling state secrets to America\u2019s enemies. Then again,\u00a0not surprising for a man<\/a>\u00a0who said that Iran\u00a0wasn\u2019t supposed to spend the money<\/em>\u00a0we gave them, which was\u00a0around $150 billion<\/a>, on terrorism…because there’s a UN resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
