Q: Paragraph: Parts of this rumor are true, but they have been twisted into a false narrative. Tidbits from various reports have been used to make a number of claims about John Kerry's ties to Iranian nuclear negotiators. These reportsargue that Kerry should have recused himself from nuclear talks with Iran because of conflicts of interest. Let's take a look at claimsthat have frequently appeared: John Kerry's Daughter Married an Iranian John Kerry's daughter married a man of Iranian descent, but he was born and raised in America. Dr. Vanessa Bradford Kerry married Dr. Brian Vala Nahed in 2009. The couple met as resident doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Vanessa was practicing internal medicine there, and Nahed was practicing neurological surgery, according to a New York Times wedding announcement: The bridegroom graduated magna cum laude from theUniversity of California, Los Angeles, and received hismedical degree cum laude from Yale. His father, apulmonologist and sleep medicine and critical-carephysician, is the chief of staff at Holy Cross Hospital inMission Hills, Calif. He also runs a private practicethere, which is managed by the bridegroom's mother. Nahedwas born in New York, according to his Mass General bio. John Kerry Concealed His Son-in-Law's Iranian Bloodlines This one is mostly fiction. John Kerry acknowledged his family's connection to Iran in a statement that was released on the Iranian New Year in March 2013: It's a privilege to join President Obama in sending warmwishes for health and prosperity to the people of Iran and allthose who celebrate Nowruz around the world. As you gather with your loved ones around the Sofreh Haft-Seen, we are proud to note that many Americans will join youin celebrating Nowruz. This year, we are once again remindedof the outstanding contributions of Iranian-Americans andIranian students here in the United States, which reflect therich history of your culture. I am proud of the Iranian-Americans in my own family, and grateful for how they haveenriched my life. Kerry made the admission after a website operated by the Iranian government reported that his son-in-law was an Iranian-American and had still relatives in Iran. The report was published as Kerry faced a Senate confirmation hearing to become secretary of state, so it wasn't a "secret." Kenneth Timmerman, president of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, described the timing of Kerry's statement in a column that appeared in the Daily Caller: Was the Iranian publication itself a subtle formof blackmail, aimed at letting Kerry know thatthe regime is fully aware of his son-in-law'sextended family in Iran? The Islamic Republicsystematically puts pressure on familymembers of prominent Iranian-Americans (forexample, individuals who work at the Persianservice of Voice of America), to make sure thatthey do not engage in hostile statements oractivities against the Tehran regime. Certainly, Secretary Kerry has long favored aU.S. rapprochement with the Islamic Republic. He has repeatedly appeared with groups suchas the American Iranian Council (AIC), and hastaken money from Iranian-Americans for hispolitical campaigns,including at least oneillegal donationfrom an Iranian woman whodid not have a green card. So he didn't needto have an Iranian-American family member tobelieve that the United States should forgedirect relations with the Islamic Republic orease U.S. pressure on the regime. Kerry may have figured that by revealing thefamily tie himself he could diffuse the situation,and make it more difficult for the regime to putpressure on his son-in-law's family. Of course,that's assuming Kerry in fact plans to doanything that angers the regime. Besides, the New York Times ran a wedding announcement in 2009 that quoted Kerry, so it wouldn't have been a very well guarded secret. The Son of an Iranian Foreign Minister Was the Best Man in John Kerry's Daughter's Wedding-Reported as Fiction! There's no proof that this one is true. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was one of the principal negotiators in nuclear talks with the U.S. The rumor that Zarif's son was the best man in Kerry's daughter's wedding started with a post on Allen B. West's website in July 2015: Secretary Kerry and Zarif first met over adecade ago at a dinner party hosted byGeorge Soros at his Manhattan penthouse. What a surprise. I have to say, connecting thedots gets more and more frightening. But it gets even worse. Guess who was thebest man at the 2009 wedding betweenKerry's daughter Vanessa and Behrouz ValaNahed? Javad Zarif's son. The story doesn't cite a source, but Vanessa Kerry Nahed quickly shot the rumor down. She tweeted that her husband didn't have a best man because they didn't have a bridal party at their wedding. An Iranian news agency called the report a"news fabrication" and said Zarif's son wasn't at the wedding. According to the report: Officials at the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Sundaystrongly rejected some US media reports alleging thatForeign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's son hadattended the wedding ceremony of Vanessa Kerry, thedaughter of US Secretary of State John Kerry. The foreign ministry's denial came after several Americanwebsites claimed in the last few days that Zarif's son, MehdiZarif, had not only attended the wedding party of Dr.Vanessa Bradford Kerry and her Iranian American husbanddoctor Brian Vala Nahed, but also been Vala Nahed's bestman. The report seems to have appeared on the US media not tohurt the Iranian foreign minister, but to damage Kerry's creditand reputation as the Republicans and the Israeli lobbieshave started massive propaganda to torpedo a recentnuclear deal struck between the six world powers and Iran. Only the powerful Israeli lobby group, AIPAC, has declared a20 million dollar fund for the purpose. And the Vanessa-Brian story only seems to be the beginning. It is true, however, that Kerry has a personal relationship withZarif that predatesthe nuclear talks. The diplomats' relationship was reported in a 2012 book by author Hooman Majd. Claim: Secretary of State John Kerry's daughter married an Iranian man with connections to an Iranian foreign minister who participated in nuclear negotiations.
