THREAD in response to some of @AdelAljubeir repeated allegations against #Iran at the #MSC2018:
1) FM @AdelAljubeir, in your speech at the @MunSecConf, you once again said that "The Iranian constitution has enshrined in it the concept of exporting the revolution" to make the case that #Iran is inherently programmed to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.
2) This is not true. What the Iranian constitution actually says about the so-called "exporting the Revolution" is a far cry from the sense you try to convey.

On my way home from #MSC2018 - and even more worried than before. When people who don't spend much time with world politics ask whether it is as bad as the media say I now respond: No, it's actually worse.
First, the world has seen a frightening amount of brinkmanship recently. Whether it's East Asia, the Middle East or even Eastern Europe - there is an increased risk of escalation. Many speeches at #MSC2018 have underscored this - in many cases, they added fuel to the fire.
Second, there was a lack of constructive ideas to solve some of the most pressing conflicts: The participants of the Normandy format didn't even meet to discuss. It's hard to imagine a good solution to the INF issue. And it's even worse when it comes to Syria or North Korea.

#Netanyahu à la #MunichSecurityConference: "L'#Iran n'est pas l'Allemagne nazie, mais il y a des similitudes frappantes. L'Iran veut annihiler #Israel. L'Iran est la plus grande menace mondiale aujourd'hui, non seulement pour Israël, mais pour vous aussi."

This Russia indictment is a must-read to understand how the troll farm worked: justice.gov/file/1035477/d…
The wheels started turning in 2014. In Feb 2016, the instruction was “use any opportunity to criticise Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump - we support them).”
In June 2014, troll farm staff toured the US on an intelligence gathering mission.

Theresa May is talking to #Merkel today, tomorrow she'll be at #MSC2018. I had a look at #Brexit coverage in Germany this week in preparation.

Boris Johnson's speech wasn't very well received in Germany. @welt called it: Boris Johnson's dishonest message of love on Valentine's Day /2
Also not excited: @handelsblatt

"He fabulated too much about organic carrots and waterslide testers to be perceived as a serious politican." Ouch. /3
