In April 2024, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel. And the Biden-Harris administration offered Iran sanctions relief.
Is U.S. foreign policy on autopilot? On Wednesday we learned the Biden Administration is imposing sanctions on another Israeli while reissuing a sanctions waiver that lets Iran access more than $10 billion in frozen funds. Its priorities reflect a policy that long ago was overtaken by events.
The billions in sanctions relief provided by the Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris administrations allowed Iran to build up Islamic terrorist networks around the region, including Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen (which we’ve been battling for nine months) along with its ballistic missile program (and the rockets of its allied terror groups), and begin the wars we’ve been seeing over the last year.
In September 2023, before the Oct 7 attacks, the Biden-Harris administration conducted a disastrous hostage deal with Iran that included $6 billion in sanctions relief. And there then were the $1.7 billion in cash pallets illegally smuggled to Iran by Obama.
The total amounts estimated over the years have varied but have gone as high as $150 billion.
The nuclear program was only part of the picture when it came to Iran. The other parts included Iran’s international terrorism and its drug exports and ballistic missile program.
Sanctions relief extended even to Iran’s missile producers.
The Biden administration on Friday lifted sanctions on two Iranian entities involved in military missile programs.
We’re now seeing the impact of the arsenal that the Obama-Biden policies allowed Iran to build up.
Martina Vaslovik says
Well at least now we know Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, yet. If they did they most certainly would have used it by now.
Jeff Bargholz says
Reportedly, more missiles were lobbed at Israel this time around than ever before. More than 200.
Israelis can thank Jihad Joe’s handlers for that. $150 billion buys the mullahs a lot of jihadist terrorism. So does oil sales to the Chicoms, although if that’s all they had like under Trump’s Presidency it wouldn’t be nearly enough to fund their jihad.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes. I wonder how Israel will respond to this latest attack, which reportedly came from Iran rather than its proxies. It’s long past time for the Israeli left to be ignored and just take the mullahs out when they’re all in the same building.

Unless the Demokkkrats have told them to wait until after the S-election.

No moderation?
What did I do wrong?
Bern says
You US is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
Jeff Bargholz says
If you mean the worldwide distribution of Disney movies, I agree. Otherwise, you’re whacked.

Life in Prison would be way too easy for Obama and Biden their Crimes Against Humanity along with Soros, Gates and Schwabe and with aid from the UN/CFR as well
Nicolas Carras says
There is something in this story that is completely beyond me
At the time when it was necessary to be firm and say: no, Gaza will never be under Palestinian authority because the Palestinian authority is violently anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist and mainly affirms that all of Palestine must be freed from Zionism and teaches it to the little Arabs, the government of the time said yes.
Then in 2005 thousands of Israelis were driven out of Gaza by their own government, it was a total shock for them.
And on October 7, 2023, 1200 Israelis were massacred, in the worst possible conditions, that even the human mind cannot imagine, with today I do not know how many hostages and soldiers killed in combat.
Not to mention all the rockets fired and the evil caused since 1993 by these mahometan fanatics.
And now a war with Iran begins.
There is something in this story that is completely beyond me and that I find revolting.
Jeff Bargholz says
Reportedly, Israel is prepared to take out Iran’s oil fields and nuclear sites, and maybe even the mullahs themselves and Revolutionary Guard concentrations. That sure would be something.
