Biden still seeking deal with Iranian mass murderers

 Power Line:

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett obviously had the deep thinkers of the Biden administration in mind when he asserted that Iran’s presidential election was a sign for world powers to “wake up” before returning to a nuclear agreement with Tehran. The winner of Iran’s presidential election this past Friday was one Ebrahim Raisi. Raisi won with 62 percent of the vote.

Iran’s president-elect is sanctioned by the United States in part over his involvement in the mass execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988, at the end of the Iran-Iraq war. Raisi has been dubbed the “hangman” as a result of his work as deputy prosecutor for Revolutionary Court in Tehran. The Revolutionary Court is perhaps better known as the Death Commission.

Bennett observed in Jerusalem yesterday that “of all the people that [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei could have chosen, he chose the hangman of Tehran, the man infamous among Iranians and across the world for leading the death committees that executed thousands of innocent Iranian citizens throughout the years.”

I think that Bennett correctly reads the tea leaves indicating that Khameni cleared the path to Raisi’s election as president and his possible successor as Supreme Leader. See, for example, Lazar Berman’s Times of Israel backgrounder here.

Bennett to the contrary notwithstanding, President Biden and his servitors have no intention of waking up. They are resolved to remain asleep. They will reenter the Iran nuclear deal whatever it takes.

...

Biden's return to the dumbest deal in history just gets crazier.  It is the most irrational response to a regime of mass murderers ever.  Biden is going to put them on the glad path to a nuclear weapon so they can kill more people.  What he is actually doing is ensuring that there will be a Middle East war involving Iran which has made clear it wants to commit genocide against Israel and many of the Sunni states in the region.  What Biden and others are doing is not the act of a rational country.
