A dozen knives in the back of the Islamic revolution: Secret FSB documents confirm Iran and Russia are waging a spy war against each other

Only part of this is true. Please be careful to not spread false (while well-intentioned) information as it hurts real investigations in the future. The Russian with the "same password" is a totally random person who happened to use a very similar Gmail username. That password is unrelated to Gor.

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)
nbcnews.com
Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine
Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

In a new "can't make this shit up" . moment, Maria Zakharova gets a call during her live presser today, and you can hear a male voice tell her to not comment the IBCM launch. Is this another Moscow4 moment, or is it a staged poker bluff meant for the West?
