Top Pentagon official’s alleged ties to Iranian propaganda network

The Biden administration is investigating a top Pentagon official for her alleged ties to an Iranian propaganda network after previously saying last Wednesday that it was “honored to have her serve.” Ariane Tabatabai is allegedly a member of the Iran Experts Initiative, which was created to strengthen Tehran’s global image on a number of priorities and policies. To chat about this in more detail is our foreign affairs expert Lisa Daftari from the Foreign Desk who chatted with BCN’s Naveen Day. 

Naveen Day

Naveen's career in broadcast and production spans close to 30 years. Prior to his move to Alberta, he was Senior Producer for two factual entertainment shows for Shaw and BellMTS, which were produced in his hometown of Winnipeg. He also served as a Producer and Production Supervisor at one of Canada's largest and fastest growing churches, and helped lead a production team of 75 volunteers. Naveen came on board with the team at Bridge City News in 2018 and performs on both sides of the camera lens as Producer, Editor, Production Coordinator, Back-up Anchor, Interview Host, and Video Journalist. In February 2022, Naveen went to Ottawa to provide daily, boots-on-the-ground coverage of the Freedom Convoy - an experience he describes as a monumental moment in Canadian history. Naveen is a two-time Communicator Awards recipient. In 2023, he won the Excellence Award for a piece he did on Alberta's Disability workers, and in 2024, he won again for a story titled, "New Smile, New Life".
