Black Cube: Inside the shadowy Israeli firm accused of trying to undermine the Iran deal

Internal Black Cube documents obtained by NBC News and interviews of sources with direct knowledge of Black Cube’s operations reveal a business intelligence company with governmental contracts and a special department for politically motivated work.

A source familiar with Black Cube’s outreach to the Kahls told NBC News that it was part of an effort to discredit Obama administration officials who had worked on the Iran nuclear deal – and, by extension, the deal itself. Black Cube sought evidence of nefarious behavior, such as financial or sexual impropriety, by the deal's architects, including Colin Kahl. Operatives hoped to obtain such evidence by befriending their targets or their targets’ associates.

Also targeted was Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser under Obama, whose wife, Ann Norris, was approached by a Black Cube operative about consulting on a political drama for TV. Norris had previously worked at the State Department.

The undercover campaign to discredit the Iran deal was first reported by the British newspaper The Observer and by The New Yorker.

In a statement to NBC News, Black Cube said it has no relationship to the Iran nuclear deal.

The same source said the Iran operation was launched just days after President Donald Trump visited Israel in May 2017. The source said he was told that the work was being carried out “for Trump,” but there is no evidence that the Trump administration had anything to do with the operation, which may have been commissioned by an outside group or agency with no connection to the administration. The identity of Black Cube’s client on the Iran work remains a mystery.

"You’ll never find their name on a contract,” the source said. “I can’t prove that it was the administration other than what I was told.”

Black Cube -- та же компания, которая была нанята для дискредитации женщин, обвинявших Вайнштейна. В статье по ссылке есть информация об этом, если интересно.

Интересно, заказывал ли кто-нибудь у Когана консультации по иранскому вопросу. И если заказывал, то кто.
Деньги там должны быть очень хорошие, не жалкие копейки от Новартиса.

Зачем нужно нанимать для этого компанию - просто нужно посмотреть какой стала политика Ирана после этого соглашения. В 2016-м году в результате снятия санкций иранская экономика показала 12% рост. Как были потрачены деньги полученные в результате экспорта нефти? Выросло ли благосостояние жителей Ирана? Ничуть. Эти деньги были потрачены на модернизацию ракет, военные действия в Сирии, Йемене, вмешательство в Ирак. Что тут дискредитировать?
