The Obama administration’s efforts to manage the narrative about the nuclear agreement with Tehran keep boomeranging and are now on the verge of becoming a full-blown PR disaster that is reigniting the controversial deal as a campaign issue.
First came the furor after a New York Times Magazine profile of deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes that called him “the single most influential voice shaping American foreign policy aside from Potus himself.” The story suggested that Rhodes and the administration, using sympathetic journalists and social media, had largely “manufactured” the tale of how the Iran deal came about. In addition, by promoting the notion that there was a split in the regime and that the administration was engaging with the moderates, the president was able to sidestep what would have been a “divisive but clarifying debate” about the deal, the story said.
