Obama official says he pushed a ‘narrative’ to media to sell the Iran nuclear deal<\/a><\/div>\n
The Washington Post<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of President Obama’s top national security advisers led journalists to believe a misleading timeline of U.S. negotiations with Iran over a nuclear agreement and relied on inexperienced reporters to create an “echo chamber” that helped sway public opinion to seal the deal, according to a lengthy magazine profile.<\/div>\n
Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, told the\u00a0New York Times magazine<\/a>\u00a0that he helped promote a “narrative” that the administration started negotiations with Iran after the supposedly moderate Hassan Rouhani was elected president in 2013. In fact, the administration’s negotiations actually began earlier, with the country’s powerful Islamic faction, and the framework for an agreement was hammered out before Rouhani’s election.<\/div>\n
