In a surprising interview on Pars TV, Mr. Hassan Dai who is the subject of a defamation lawsuit by Trita Parsi and NIAC, stated that Trita Parsi, President of NIAC was paid by CIA. He stated that based on legal documents obtained as a result of the lawsuit, Trita Parsi received money from CIA. He further stated that it was up to Mr. Parsi to provide an explanation of the extent and nature of services he provided the CIA. Trita Parsi in his deposition states that NIAC is a “very very small organization” yet when he presents himself to various politicians, he purports NIAC as the “largest Iranian-American” organization. Parsi is a resident alien claiming to represent the Iranian-American community in the United States. But as reported in Washington Times, he lobbies for policies favorable toward the Islamic Republic of Iran.
