مصاحبه من با میعاد ملکی، طراح پشت پرده تحریم‌های آمریکا علیه ایران در یک دهه گذشته در وزارت خزانه‌داری آمریکا - پنجشنبه ساعت یک صبح به وقت تهران در ایران‌اینترنشنال Miad Maleki

For my Iranian followers, tune into this interview with FDD Miad Maleki in Farsi on ايران اينترنشنال on Thursday 1 am Tehran time. Find out what he has done to target the regime you rightly despise.

برای دنبال‌کنندگان ایرانی من، این مصاحبه با FDD و Miad Maleki را به زبان فارسی از ايران اينترنشنال پنج‌شنبه ساعت ۱ بامداد به وقت تهران تماشا کنید. ببینید او چه اقداماتی برای هدف قرار دادن رژیمی که به‌درستی از آن نفرت دارید انجام داده است.

یک مقام ارشد پیشین وزارت خزانه‌داری ایالات متحده به ایران‌اینترنشنال گفت: «تحریم‌های آمریکا به‌گونه‌ای طراحی شده که مردم را هدف نگیرد.»

A former US Treasury official who helped design Washington’s expanded sanctions regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran said Tehran prioritizes survival over citizens’ welfare and the sanctions weaken Iran's rulers rather than ordinary Iranians. Miad Maleki told Iran

Now even the UN Security Council has rallied to the US position: Zero Iranian enrichment, zero nuclear-capable missiles, full dismantlement.

The calmness and even casualness w/ which President Trump spoke about the elimination of the IRI’s military leaders at #UNGA80 today signals a not too often seen understanding among Western leaders as to who is a superpower and supplicant in the 🇺🇸-🇮🇷 relationship.

Tehran says the quiet part out loud about uranium enrichment, lumping Iran in with states with nukes and enrichment. He’s leaving out five more countries that have enrichment but no nukes—very telling. All the more reason to demand full dismantlement of Iranian enrichment.

UN snapback sanctions on Iran take effect Sept 27, including arms embargo, missile restrictions, and more. Expert Behnam Ben Taleblu بهنام بن طالب لو discussed the UN decision and its broader implications with RFE/RL. rferl.org/a/un-snapback-…

If your (🇮🇷👀) economy has ✅"charities" to fund Hezbollah ✅IRGC-run “startups” ✅humanitarian aid for terror cash...it's not an economy. It’s a criminal enterprise. And no match for the almighty $. Tonight = snapback deadline, so let's break it down: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Join me on The Iran Breakdown with Miad Maleki, former Treasury, CENTCOM & USAF, now FDD. He lays out how the Islamic Republic runs like a mafia: sanctions relief bankrolled the IRGC, Basij, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Assad, Shiite militias & Khamenei’s criminal empire. 📺:

I break it down with FDD’s Miad Maleki — former Treasury, CENTCOM & USAF — on how U.S. financial warfare hit Khamenei’s mafia regime. Now it faces UN snapback sanctions on top of two years of crushing U.S. & Israeli military blows.

Yes, dead and buried along with Soleimani, Salami, Hajizadeh, Izadi, Shahriyari, Zahedi, Mohaghegh, Shadmani, Y. Sinwar, M. Sinwar, Deif, al-Arouri, Haniye, Shabana, Obeidah, Nasrallah, Shukr, Akil, Safieddine, and many more—plus all remaining fantasies about regime moderates.

Awesome. No one knows Iran’s economy and our sanctions regimes better than Miad Maleki!

Even if only a fraction of this is true, we need better guardrails. nytimes.com/2025/09/26/bus…

Through three administrations, my FDD colleague Miad Maleki drove the maximum pressure campaign at Treasury Department against the criminal mafia that rules Iran. We break it down in the wake of the snapback of UN sanctions. 📺: youtube.com/live/zCp8Ph8_i… 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/5u7JuR…

Just over 3 years remains under President Trump to finish off Khamenei’s war machine, empower Iranians to reclaim their country, and do the peace deals that make the Middle East safer. Trump will then get the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is a bogus claim. Russia supplied the TRR’s fuel in 2019 and 2023. It can do so again. This regime cannot have domestic enrichment.

It's a huge privilege to join FDD and to publish my first piece with them. The Islamic Republic has executed over 1000 people this year alone. Brave Iranians resisting this repressive regime deserve international support. This paper looks to history to inspire a new approach.
