Biden's mistakes with Iran
...
Almost as soon as Presidentish Joe Biden assumed office, he began making sure that bad actors around the world would have all the money they might need for acting badly.
Less than one month into his solitary, sad little term, Biden lifted former president Donald Trump’s restoration of U.N. sanctions on Iran. The White House and the State Steno Pool sold the move as something that "could help Washington move toward rejoining the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at reining in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program." Trump had withdrawn from Barack Obama's "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, in 2018, accusing Iran of serious violations."
Trump had Iran broke and boxed in. Biden unleashed the Kraken.
But Biden wasn't done there. At seemingly every opportunity, he freed up more funds for Tehran.
To give just one specific example, last year Biden-Harris unfroze $6 billion-with-a-b in Iranian funds to secure the release of five (!!!) Americans who were effectively held hostage by Iran's "justice" system.
"To facilitate their release," SecState Antony Blinken said at the time, "the United States has committed to release five Iranian nationals currently held in the United States and to permit the transfer of approximately $6 billion in restricted Iranian funds held in [South Korea] to restricted accounts in Qatar, where the funds will be available only for humanitarian trade."
The mullahs enjoyed a good laugh at that while turning $6 billion into weapons-grade uranium and loading up the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas with enough explosives and missiles to launch coordinated war efforts against Israel and global shipping in the Red Sea.
Also in February of 2021, Biden removed the Houthis from the Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist lists that Trump had finally put them on late in his term. That decision came "just over 24 hours after the Biden administration announced an end to American support for Saudi-led offensive operations against the Houthis in Yemen including a freeze on arms sales to the Kingdom."
The Houthis — who serve as Iran's proxies in what used to be Yemen — enjoyed two kinds of relief. You can see the results in the Red Sea, where they've waged war on international shipping for almost a year. They also fire the occasional medium-range missile barrage at Israel.
Biden "waited" until April of 2021 to restore American funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which has long served as an arm of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Again, the money rushed into yet another terrorist organization. You can read all about the UNRWA-Hamas connections here. The report is nothing less than damning, including no fewer than 100 UNRWA employees who are also Hamas terrorists.
Israeli intelligence failed to prevent or detect the Hamas Oct. 7 terror invasion of southern Israel. That's partly due to hubris on Israel's part and operational cleverness on Hamas'. But don't forget that, thanks to Biden-Harris, American tax dollars helped to underwrite the attack.
...
One of the biggest mistakes US voters have made is electing the Biden-Harris regime. It has made mistakes at home and abroad and it will take serious efforts to correct them. If voters choose Harris in this election it will only get worse. She is an intellectual lightweight and appears to have surrounded herself with like-minded people.
It is inexplicable why Biden et al decided to let Iran out of the box Trump had them in. The world is worse off because Biden pandered to the evils in Iran.
