This week  one of IRIBâs popular nightly talk shows was dedicated to the protests. The Channel Two show featured Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani  a conservative MP  and  Reza Seraj   introduced as an âexpert on strategic questions and a university professor.â
 Seraj  is well-known to many Iranian activists  although not exactly in those terms. Many of the thousands who have gone through the notorious interrogations blindfolded in Tehranâs Evin Prison remember his voice as an âexpert interrogator.â He is known for meting out psychological torture rather than physical torture by flaunting his supposed knowledge of the intricate webs of espionage with which any given activist is allegedly involved.
Born in the southwestern city of Ahvaz in 1966   Seraj  has cut  his  teeth in different wings of the IRGC  especially its autonomous volunteer paramilitary  the Basij. One story alleges that in 1988  the then-21-year-old Seraj galvanized a group of angry Basijis to stop a speech by Ali Khameneiâwho was president at the timeâto soldiers on the frontlines of the war with Iraq. Back then  President Khamenei was engaged in a power struggle with Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi  who was regarded as being more revolutionary and closer to the founder of the Islamic Republic  Ayatollah Khomeini.
As it turned out  two decades later  in 2009   Seraj  played a lead role in defending Khamenei  by then the supreme leader  harassing and torturing supporters of Mousavi  who was by that time the leader of the Green Movement that threatened Khamenei.
â 'The Americans  the Israelis and the Saudis had a strategic operational plan that was to be put in action next year '  Seraj  said  'but some factors led them into hastening  it .' â
 Seraj  headed the student organization of Basij from 2008 to 2010 and was lauded by the pro-IRGC Fars News Agency as a transformative Basiji figure. In the years since  he has become known for working with outlets like Fars and the state broadcaster to defend the regime and spin tales of foreign espionage.
His real identity didnât remain hidden for long. Ali Afshari  the student activist who was driven to exile after bouts of prison and torture in Iran  recalled  Seraj  very well in an interview he gave to the New Haven-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Center.
âWhen I gave up  they had taken my blindfold [off] and I could see my interrogator â Afshari said. âHe introduced himself as Alavi but I later found out that his name was Seraj. He sometimes writes for Fars now and is the head of student Basij. I complained to the judge and asked for a different interrogator.  Seraj  used to tell me that it was  he  who told the judge what to do  not the other way around.â
Adding more to spice up the story  Amirabadi claimed that part of the U.S. plan was to bring the forces of ISIS to Iranian territory  but this had been thwarted by the Quds Force (a part of the IRGC which is not supposed to operate on Iranian territory) and the Unknown Soldiers of the Twelfth Imam (the name used for the forces of Iranâs ministry of intelligence.)  Seraj  quickly agreed with this claim.
According to  Seraj   now that the Americansâ âPlan Aâ had been defeated  they had resorted to âPlan B â which had been started by U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haleyâs calling on the United Nations Security Council to meet about Iran.
âTheir plan is to lead Iran to miscalculation and to change its behavior according to what U.S. and the European countries want â  Seraj  said. âThey had designed a game of dominoes. The Americans were to threaten us with leaving the JCPOA [nuclear agreement] and ramping up the sanctions while the Europeans were to play the good cop.â
Confirming "the Conspiracy" and Worries for Whatâs  Next
Seraj  doesnât officially speak for the IRGC so someone unfamiliar with  his  significance might dismiss  his  elaborate theory as the thoughts of one man. But Iranian Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Jafar Montazeri has given a version of events that coincides very closely with Serajâs.
Montazeri then gave numerous details to back up the story put forth by  Seraj  and Amirabadiâand added some new claims. The cities of Herat in Afghanistan and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan had been picked as centers of operation  he said  and ISIS forces were to come to Iran from there. He also claimed that Michael DâAndreaâwho was revealed in U.S. media reports back in June as the newly appointed head of the CIAâs Iran Mission Centerâhad organized the protests  a claim previously made by some pro-government Turkish newspapers (these reports were so inaccurate they had mistakenly published photographs of U.S. actors instead of DâAndrea.)
The Green Movement of 2009 was followed by Stalinesque show trials during which the accused confessed to involvement in elaborate espionage plans.  Seraj  is known to have played a role in concocting those fantasy plans. So  now  many worry that a similar fate awaits more than 1 500 people who have been arrested over the last few days.

Sam Querrey gave the United States a winning start in its bid to reach Saturday's final at the World Team Cup.
 Querrey beat Jan Hajek 6-3  7-5 on Thursday to put the U.S. 1-0 up against the Czech Republic in the Red Group and remain unbeaten in his three singles this week.
 "So far so good " said Querrey. "I thought today was the best I played out of the three matches. So I'm pretty excited."
 Hajek claimed the first break  when Querrey ended a long rally with a forehand error  to go 3-1 up but the American player responded by winning the next five games in a row to take the opening set.
 Both players saved a break point late in the second set before Querrey broke at 6-5  converting his third match point.
 "I've been working this week to try and hit my forehand a little bigger. I felt I did that today " said Querrey. "I felt pretty much anytime I got a forehand  I was able to take control of the point."
 Querrey said his win takes the pressure off the U.S. ahead of Friday's matches.
 "A little bit  yes. I think John (Isner) can go out there and play a little more freely  which is a good thing " Querrey said. "When we have the lead  you can swing away a little bit more than if we were 1-0 down.
 "Then  the Bryan brothers  we expect them to win every match. Hopefully  they are going to do that again."

With  his  first year in office coming to a close  President Donald Trump recently asked a rally crowd in Pensacola  Florida to consider what  he  gave up as a businessman in order to pursue the presidency.
"There could be a potential upside and a potential downside [to  Trump ] maintaining ties with  his  businesses " said Kathleen Clark  who serves on the D.C. Bar Rules of Professional Conduct Review Committee.
Here's what we know about how  Trump 's actions as president may have impacted family businesses  based on publicly available information:
" Trump  businesses have done relatively well where  he  has been able to leverage the presidency on their behalf  but the properties that have not featured  his  presence have not benefited " Clark said.
In a statement to ABC News the Trump Organization disputed  Trump  has directly influenced  his  businesses during  his  first year in office.
" President Trump  resigned from the Trump Organization as previously stated.  He  is our president and is running the country " the statement read. "Now   Don Jr. and Eric Trump  have taken the reins and are leading The Trump Organization alongside the Company’s leadership team.  They  are making all decisions regarding the future of assets and operations."
Overall  income from  Trump  properties increased to the tune of tens of millions of dollars in 2016 largely thanks revenue generated from  Trump 's properties  according to a financial disclosure report released by the White House earlier this year.
President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign paid out more than $475 000 in rent alone during the first eight months of 2017 for their headquarters based out of Trump Tower in New York. FEC disclosures also show dozens of expenditures by the campaign for lodging at the  Trump  hotel in D.C. with totals ranging between $200 to $1500.
After the election  President Trump's sons - Don Trump  Jr.  and Eric Trump - announced plans to expand their hotel operation  citing their time on the 2016 campaign trail as a source of inspiration.
"This is real America " Eric Trump told ABC News in June. "And to be able to go in there and  you know  cater to them  as well  I think that's a beautiful thing."
In the filings   Eric Trump  acknowledged the losses for Turnberry  saying they were “due to the resort being open for six months in the current year” and that the directors believed “the resort will return to profitability in the short to medium term.”
There is no mention of whether  President Trump’s  unpopularity in the U.K. may be at all to blame for the shortfall  despite a flood of public rebukes of  President Trump  from British and Scottish political figures over  his  immigration rhetoric   his  criticism of the U.K.’s handling of terrorism and  his  controversial response to the protests in Charlottesville this summer.
Some of  Trump 's stateside properties have seen declining interest from charities and nonprofit groups who had been regular customers of the venues for splashy fundraising events and galas.
In September  ABC News reported that at least 21 charities and organizations cancelled or moved events they had previously scheduled at the president’s Mar a Lago resort following  the president’s  response to the unrest in Charlottesville.
 The Trump brand  has also suffered setbacks abroad in Latin America. The Associated Press reported in November that the owners of Trump International Hotel in Panama were working to remove Trump’s name from the building  which the Trump Organization said at the time could amount to a contract violation.
While  the president  has personally said  his  net worth exceeds $10 billion  a recent estimate by Forbes has suggested the president's net worth dropped significantly from $3.7 billion in 2016 to $3.1 billion in 2017  citing "a tough New York real estate market  a costly lawsuit  and an expensive presidential campaign."
