In September 2023, Pentagon Chief of Staff Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian immigrant, was accused of having worked as an agent of the Tehran regime. Dissident media outlets produced emails that allegedly showed that Tabatabai had joined an initiative by the Iranian Foreign Ministry to coordinate operations and that she had even run her congressional testimony on Iran’s nuclear program past the head of an Iranian Foreign Ministry think tank.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center and Front Page Magazine had been among those to take the lead in warning about the potential danger posed by her and enemy agents in the Pentagon.
Tabatabai had served under Robert Malley, Biden’s Iran Envoy, who had been suspended from the Obama campaign for his backchannel contacts with Hamas, and has been under investigation for mishandling classified documents. But the emails appeared to show that she had personally worked for Iran and its influence operations aimed at the U.S. government.
Despite that she continued to be promoted until she is now the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC).
In January 2024, Iranian-backed terrorists launched their most successful single attack against an American base to date. The target was the living quarters where U.S military personnel were stationed on an obscure support base in the Jordanian desert known as Tower 22.
While the drone attack would normally have been intercepted, the Iranian-backed terrorists had precisely timed the arrival of their drone to match that of an American drone returning home.
In the confusion, the Islamic terrorist drone was not intercepted and 3 American military personnel were killed and over 30 more were wounded. And it could have been worse.
The Iranians had known where the living quarters on the base were, what our procedures for drone arrivals and departures were, and when one of our drones would be coming back.
How were the Islamic terrorists able to precisely coordinate the arrival of their drone and ours?
Tower 22, located close to Syria and Iraq, was one of the bases that we helped Jordan build up during the Syrian Civil War. Under Obama, it was a key element for supporting the Syrian Sunni rebels while under Trump, it focused on fighting ISIS forces in Syria. Syrian Sunnis fleeing the country passed by, some were allowed to enter Jordan, while most, including some Sunni Jihadis, had to remain in what became known as the Rukban refugee camp.
The proximity of the Rukban camp to Tower 22 and the nearby Al-Tanf base would provide plenty of options for “refugees” to monitor and track the movements of American drones.
But Ariane Tabatabai’s presence in Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict raises another troubling possibility. Tower 22 was used as a jumping off point by special operators and the U.S. presence in that area falls under the shadow of the SO/LIC office.
Special operators had been stationed at Al-Tanf and the SO/LIC office would have potentially had access to a great deal of information about what was going on at Al-Tanf and Tower 22.
That indeed is why Tabatabai likely ended up in the office, not despite her ties to the Iranian regime, but because of them. During the campaign against ISIS, the United States came to rely on some of the same Iranian-backed Shiite Jihadist groups to do the heavy lifting on the ground.
Tabatabai could have been seen as a potentially useful backchannel for an office that was likely unofficially coordinating with Iran anyway. That would explain her initial role as a senior advisor.
But by elevating a former Iranian agent to a chief of staff of an office overseeing special operations, the Biden administration, the Pentagon and the SO/LIC may have been gambling that they could control that backchannel and that would have been a catastrophic mistake.
Late last year, 30 Senate members had urged the Pentagon to suspend her security clearance.
“Iran continues to threaten U.S. military personnel in the Middle East and remains intent on assassinating American citizens here in the United States. Given these facts, we find it simply unconscionable that a senior Department official would continue to hold a sensitive position despite her alleged participation in an Iranian government information operation,” they warned.
“Dr. Tabatabai was thoroughly and properly vetted as a condition of her employment with the Department of Defense,” a Pentagon spokesman claimed. “We are honored to have her serve.”
And the cost of that DOD decision may have been quite high, not just in security, but blood.
We don’t know how exactly Iran’s terror groups were able to closely coordinate the arrival of their drone with ours, but it’s hard to believe that it could have happened without either sloppiness, close observation or inside information. Operational security had clearly been compromised and in such a situation it’s the fundamental duty of the Department of Defense to examine its procedures, tighten its security and look into Iranian agents inside its offices.
There should be no place for current or former agents of an enemy government which is actively attacking and killing Americans inside the Pentagon. And yet Tabatabai is still there.
And she’s not alone.
Nor is she even the only Pentagon Chief of Staff with Islamic terror ties. Front Page Magazine’s ‘Disloyal Military’ investigations into enemy agents and wokeness within the military not only cast light on Ariane Tabatabai, but also on Yousra Fazili, the Chief of Staff for the Pentagon Comptroller, as well as other hostile figures in the government and the defense industry.
Yousra Fazili, the daughter of Kashmiri Muslim immigrants who studied Islamic religious law or sharia at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, a hub of Jihadist thinking, had testified in Congress in support of her cousin who had been arrested for his support for Islamic terrorists in India.
Fazili had worked for the Qatari ambassador, an ally of Iran, and which serves as a state sponsor of Hamas, and she had represented the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations known as a Muslim Brotherhood operation, co-founded by figures tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama bin Laden, and she has cheered on pro-Hamas protesters.
Despite multiple congressional letters and warnings from Senate and House members, the Department of Defense has done nothing to clean its house and the clock is ticking.
We do not know if inside information led to the deaths of 3 Americans in the Iranian attack at Tower 22, but it is only a matter of time until foreign enemy agents inside the government end up passing information to Iran, Qatar or other Islamic terror states that gets our people killed.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center will continue investigating the enemy within and working to hold them and their enablers in the government accountable before it’s too late.
If so, need to restrict info about drone flights. Thanks Daniel!
Remember that during the Obama administration one of our most advanced, sophisticated drones “Accidentally” ended it’s flight by making a perfect landing at an Iranian airfield?
Did we immediately demand it’s return? No. IMHO, this was a carefully crafted operation to give Iran access to this technology and an opportunity to reverse engineer this drone to advance their drone program..
Holy crap! I never knew this!

If you don’t kill cancer at its source, you simply are chasing it around as it spreads, hit-or-miss.
Iran is the source of cancer in the middle-east and beyond
But, but, but this person was fully vetted. HA!
BTW: I’m watching Biden at the Dignified Transfer of US Solders in Dover. Looks like Jill must have taken Joe’s watch.
“Vetted” in Bidemerica means asking a terrorist if his suicide belt is for business or pleasure.
As if Alzheimer Joe can tell time no matter how many times he looks at his watch! That’s why he looks at it so often. He can’t tell time but he forgets he already looked at it. 😛
And use constantly changing schedules. The Army used to know how to do that. Never be predictable. Golly, I wonder if the reason it now uses regular schedules is because of Alzheimer Joe’s handlers, incompetent appointees like Groid Austin and traitorous agents of foreign enemies such as Tabatabai? It’s a real mystery.
Nobody surpasses Jeff Bargholz in apt nicknaming. Thanks for the laughs.
You’re welcome!
By the way, how do you get your avatar to appear with your posts? I ask people here all the time but they never answer. For a smart guy, I’m dumb when it comes to this.
I am unable to re-create a step-by-step recipe, but I did it when FPM changed their commenting policy. I went to WordPress.org and created a new account. I took a photo of one of my dogs whose face is particularly beautiful and uploaded that photo on the “My Profile” page. Then, on the same page is “Profile Links” in which you can manage which sites appear in your profile. In order to comment on FPM, I filled in the home page “frontpagemag.com.” The first time I did it, the profile picture of my dog appeared with my comment. It was not my intention. I was only trying to preserve my ability to comment and the FPM setup prompted me to create a blog to do so. I do not use that blog for anything, but it re-creates my photo whenever I sign in to any website to comment.
Interestingly, this information has been duplicated at Google.
You might try creating a gravatar.com profile and uploading your photo there.
Trump is good as well.
Thank you. Unbelievable that our government is that unaware of where the allegiance of Islamic people ultimately lies. Only a relationship with the true Jesus will change them.
Rephrase: Need to call Reese!
Restrict drone flight information!?!?!?!
You’ve missed the ENTIRE point. The base was next door to a refugee camp! Any hostile operatives could/would figure our daily flight schedule by merely watching runway operations.
This is why Trump wanted to restrict immigration from SOME not all, islamic dictatorships.
And then this muslim is anointed to a key role, was this a bitterness appointment?
Treason and incompetence is my guess. If an added and doddering Dirtbagocrat President eats ice cream while the world turns, the administration, government agencies, military and every other rat hole in the government will be controlled by anti-American left-wing scumbags.
I meant “addled, not “added.”
Bravo Daniel Greenfield on this valuable imvestigative info. Please distribute it to all relevant politicians and media.
IMAGINE if a Nazi or Japanese was the Pentagon Chief of Staff during WW II?
IMAGINE a Soviet was during the Cold War?
A conversation with Stanislav Levchenko, a high-ranking KGB defector exposed the KGB’s Active Measures to INFILTRATE all levels of American Society, from citizen groups, the Justice System, Schools and Universities, Media, DEFENSE, city/state/national offices, and the highest levels of the Government, INCLUDING THE WHITE HOUSE! “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”
The CPUSA and the KGB teamed up during Vietnam with the KGB’s World Peace Council. organizing and leading the Peace Movement so the Communists could takeover SE Asia. The Communist-led peace movement SPIT on our Troops and called them baby killers. They recruited MILLIONS of Americans which were then sufficiently brainwashed to then protest in support of Communists again in Central America during the ’80s. Communist Daniel Ortega still rules Nicaragua and arrests all political opponents as “a threat to our Democracy” which the Democrats are now using against their political opponents. MILLIONS RECRUITED.
DURING OBAMA, CIA head John Brennan, a Communist and a Muslim, who was in charge of conducting operations around the world against Communists and Muslims but he, AND OBAMA, were instead Aiding and Abetting them. Look at the rise of both around the World.
OBAMA’S ARAB SPRING overthrew Mubarak due to his peace treaty with Israel. Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood now led Egypt and he quickly recognized that government with then LEGITIMIZED the Muslim Brotherhood to put them in our government.
Hillary’s aide, Huma Abedin, was Muslim Brotherhood and surely, she was MB first and US last! What did she learn from the laptop? What was Hillary hiding when she destroyed devices and deleted emails?
DON’T LOOK TOO MUCH FOR MUSLIM AND COMMUNIST TRAITORS ALONE who are all over our Society and Government… the scary ones are the smiling Americans who will gladly help every enemy. The Biggest Smile: BARACK OBAMA!
i agree with the notion that Barack Hussein Obama is not a friend of Israel, and never was. I also believe that he is still influential in Washington and may very well pull a few of Biden’s soft strings. Biden is most problematic to me personally, because he showed up and pretended to be this friend of Israel in our terrible need of October, and all of Israel was crying with relief. Someone, a strong powerful leader, stands with Israel. Well, after six months, still most hostages held in abject captivity, 700 dead Israeli soldiers and hundres more wounded, where is he, this man who vowed not to ignore the Jewish People and abandon it a second time in American history. Shame on America and shame on those who are blind they cannot see they will be next.
The enemy fronts our nation is facing today on our on soil is by far the the most dangerous. The democrat politicians AND their voters are vehemently anti America. The insidious treason by the infiltrators as David writes. The collapse of our borders by fiat and the ensuing terror surely to follow. The dollar is in free fall, by design and now our standard bearer, our warrior , our 11th hour man of the people has been stifled by corrupt lawfare through the entire judiciary. Pray.
Yes and all those people claim they love America, but if a person loves something, they don’t want to change it beyond recognition.
Her name is Valerie Jarrett
Yes, an Iranian with sympathies for Iran, Islam, and her growing up a Communist and on the Right Hand of another Communist and Black Supremacist who also appeased Iran, as does his VP now. All TRAITORS but add all the traitors in every department giving away our Secrets and advance notice of an attack or on the ground info leading to American deaths!
Yes, and any time she’s criticized in public, all of a sudden she becomes black and her critics are all racists.
May she be sodomized by a horny herd of bactrian camels.
The traitor in chief is BO. This is his 3rd term.
I believe the Shia moo slims are actually running our Federal government in many aspects. They are just using us white American tax payers as cash cows. And you know what happens to cows when they can no longer give milk.
What about taxpayers who aren’t white? Don’t they matter?
I smell a Moby troll.
It’s rather apparent that NO ONE involved with islam should be in a position within Our Government! The VERY basis of islam is incompatible with OUR CONSTITUTION! WHY do DEMOcrats (HYPOCRITES) push for their inclusion? But then they want MEN to “claim” to be women so they can go to a Women’s Prison! Maybe I’m wrong with wanting the DEMOcrats to be FORCED to change their name to the HYPOCRITE Party – it really should be the DECADENT Party!
Sending sensitive military info to sworn enemies of America can be done willy-nilly through leaks, or instantly through enemy agents on the inside. Hiring the latter is the Obama/Biden way.
And thank you for your work Daniel.
I have no doubt that Ariane Tabatabai is an Iranian intelligence asset, but then so is Barack Hussein Osama. Joe Biden would be one too, except he’s always been (even before dementia set in) so resolutely cretinous and incompetent.
Yes, Valerie Jarrett led Obama by his nose.
Sadly, America is governed now by fools. We are a ship of fools.
It is doubtful that anything will be done to investigate although it is highly suspicious and even with some probability. Too many wokes in the Pentagon and Dem Party and the group known as rinos.
Unless there was a knife to their throat, any member of the Biden regime couldn’t, and wouldn’t, recognize an enemy.
It looks like the Demic4at party is the enemy
Maybe at Tower 22 in Jordan they thought the drone was American and allowed it in. Did this Aministration leave some of our American drones when they were in a hurry to leave Afganistan? If so maybe they used one of those to attack Tower 22.
Once upon a time, we took this stuff seriously. Remember Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?
Remember Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen? Or are their names the wrong ones. Or is helping the Soviets find US nuclear subs OK?
Biden is the traitor!
Jobama is the traitor.
I just looked her up and she has top secret compartmentalised clearance. That may mean she also has access to secret Israeli intelligence and can pass it on to the party of Satan as well as Hamas.
.groid austin, wish i had thought of it
.better than eric d**k-holder.
How were terrorists able to perfectly time their drone attack without inside information? I would answer that question by assigning blame on the combatant commander responsible for that attack area because he bears responsibility for force protection. Also the incompetent idiot in command of the drone overflights allowed a gap to occur between the outgoing over watch drone, and its replacement incoming drone allowing the attacking drone to enter the area and fire on the Americans. My second answer would be: You will never find out about that Iranian woman working on the DOD staff because Biden’s hacks will delete from government records all references to her in email/message traffic she was engage with. She will then disappear. End of story and any investigation.
