Tehran's Long Reach: Iranian Foreign Influence Operations in American Politics,
Media, Finance, and Civil Society


A definitive master report documenting every layer of Iranian government influence inside the United States: FARA and LDA compliance failures; IRGC-directed covert networks; PAC and campaign finance operations; nonprofit, think tank, and academic infrastructure; media penetration; shadow banking and cryptocurrency; the Iran Experts Initiative; state-by-state electoral maps; the complete Alavi Foundation asset architecture; and the network's response to
active U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran (Operation Epic Fury, February–March 2026). Compiled from public records, federal court filings, FEC and IRS databases, Treasury/OFAC designations, congressional investigations, and documented investigative journalism spanning five decades. Five key network threads — Sahar Nowrouzzadeh (NIAC to NSC pipeline), Philip Gordon (network hub), Matthew Duss (Ploughshares to Sanders pipeline), Setad/EIKO (Khamenei $95B empire), and Hooman Majd (media normalization layer) — are fully integrated throughout §§22, 23, and 26.

This document lays out exactly what's at stake: why East Texas lost the HB 27 water fight in the special session, how voluntary pledges leave families holding the bill, and how small modular reactors can power the AI economy without draining your aquifer or raising your electric bill.

 

Read the full plan. Share it with your neighbors.
