Biden Administration's Jitterbug with Iran's Regime
When Crime Does Pay - Spectacularly

The recent decision to shower Iran, the "leading state sponsor of global terrorism," with yet another $10 billion in sanctions waivers, "freeing up $10 billion elsewhere to spend on terrorism, missiles, nuclear weapons and the repression of Iranian women," defies logic and morality.
Despite galactic evidence of Iran's atrocities — such as, since October 2023, more than 165 attacks by its proxies on American assets, which include the murder of three US service members; its support for terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Houthis; its brutal crackdown on dissent at home, and its massively destabilizing actions across the Middle East — the Biden administration continues to court Iran and further enrich its regime, which thrives on chaos and bloodshed, especially against the country throwing the money at them.
"The FBI believes Iran is capable of a variety of attack options against US targets, to include cyber operations intended to sabotage public and private infrastructure .... t's clear the Iranians are determined to carry out attacks in the United States...." — Robert Wells, assistant director of the Counterterrorism Division at the FBI, March 20, 2024.
"The mullahs give up nothing but get a windfall nonetheless... For [Senate Majority leader Chuck] Schumer, apparently, regime change in Israel is the national-security priority — not stopping billions of dollars to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism." — Former National Security Council official Richard Goldberg, New York Post, March 14, 2024.
Former US Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe's assertion that the Biden administration's actions has already enriched Iran by "closer to $60 billion" is nothing short of chilling. This staggering sum undoubtedly enabled Iran to further enrich its uranium to near weapons-grade level; to help Hamas attack Israel, and to torment its own people.
It is high time for the Biden administration to send a clear and unequivocal message to Iran, China, Russia and North Korea that the days of impunity are over.
