Has your local public K-12 school received Qatari funding?

I used local public records requests laws to track down scores of grant-contracts and funding documents issued by @QFIntl - the ruling Qatari royal family’s foundation. @pavakpatel turned the data into this new @FDD interactive tool.

Just plug in your state or school.

Iran Rushed Out $6 Billion of Oil During Brief Truce With U.S.

This was a modest cash injection for the regime we could have prevented. https://t.co/r988YwTX81

More Iranian violations of international law and norms while the international community casually looks the other way https://t.co/n6QmNMxgA0

[Jonathan Schanzer @JSchanzer]

Aoun to Washington is long overdue. I hope the White House makes a huge deal of his presence. He should be rewarded for his brave steps toward normalization with Israel and his looming confrontation with the Iran-backed Hezbollah. https://t.co/a9SwdkhJfu

[Jonathan Schanzer @JSchanzer]

Jordan is a strategic target for the regime. It’s a weak state with limited resources and a population that is decidedly ambivalent about the US, let alone Israel. Watching for any signs of public sentiment here. https://t.co/V2gNYF0QhC

[Jonathan Schanzer @JSchanzer]

The UK just made backing the IRGC a felony. Better late than never, I suppose. On today's @FDD Morning Brief, I ask @RobinSimcox why this designation is coming now and what it means for Tehran's reach in Britain. https://t.co/7zUmYOezAe
