[EX Q]: 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.

[EX Q]: Mr. Kasanoff started Threshold in 1992. Formerly known as Amalgamated Widgets  the company billed itself as an intellectual property hub  harvesting rights to video games like Duke Nukem or Lego animated projects; its subsidiary Threshold Digital Research Labs provided animation and effects work for a variety of clients  including a âStar Trekâ attraction in Las Vegas. Threshold also tried to court the young-male demographic of the emerging World Wide Web with content like the series âBikini Masterpiece Theater.â
In 1999  Mr. Kasanoff and a Threshold employee  Joshua Wexler  conceived a film in which food mascots would come alive when away from prying eyes  much like the playthings in âToy Story.â
 Mr. Kasanoff  raised an initial $25 million for production costs in conjunction with a Korean investment consortium and expected the rest of the budget  which Threshold projected at $50 million  would come from foreign presales and loans against those sales.  He  worked with IBM for on-demand processing power off site  an early precursor to cloud computing that  Mr. Kasanoff  predicted would save the production millions in operating expenses.
 He  also decided that  he  would produce and direct  despite never having supervised a full-length animated feature.
â His  approach  because  he  had gotten the money for it  and no one could say no to  him   was very idiosyncratic â said Kenneth Wiatrak  a layout artist on the project. âYou didnât know from day to day what would occur. Would there be a review? Would  he  suddenly want to change the whole thing?â
Citing legal reasons   Mr. Kasanoff  declined to comment for this article.
Nothing at Threshold had ever been deemed so crucial to the companyâs success. âFor us â Mr. Kasanoff told the press  âthis is âCasablanca.â â
The break had given  Mr. Kasanoff  a new idea  one that probably sealed the filmâs fate.  He  wanted to direct it like a live-action movie  complete with retakes  motion-capture performances and more spontaneity. As a result   he  and animators were speaking two different languages.
A roving  Mr. Kasanoff   animators said  would request that things be âmore awesomeâ or â30 percent betterâ and didnât understand why someone trained in texture couldnât do modeling work. (The productionâs previous software had allowed for such flexibility  but the new system  Maya  was geared toward specialists.)
 Mr. Kasanoff  sourced out part of the production to House of Moves  a motion-capture company  and Image Metrics  which had developed software to sync animation to a voice actorâs filmed performance. But Image Metrics had a limitation: Performers had to stare straight ahead and keep still. The result was subdued  with eyes appearing vacant or looking in the wrong direction.
In 2005  Threshold secured roughly $20 million in additional financing through private investors represented by StoryArk  a financing firm that had been impressed by the brand tie-ins  the celebrity voice cast and a new distribution deal Mr. Kasanoff had struck with Lionsgate. The studio balked  however  when planned release dates in 2006 and 2007 didnât materialize.
