Iran’s Islamic terror regime has three exports: energy, drones, and meth. Like most traditional Islamic cultures, it also has a thriving trade in slavery, kidnappings, hostages, and such things.
Here’s how that works.
A top political strategist and Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps officer told supporters that Iran should kidnap hostages and ransom them back to the United States for “blood money.”
“Here’s how the IRGC generates funds. The IRGC detains a spy like Jason Rezaian,” Hassan Abbasi can be heard saying in a video that surfaced on Wednesday. “The U.S. pleads for him to be released, and we ask them to pay for him. Our government gets paid $1.7 billion to hand over this spy. By detaining one spy, the IRGC earns the $1-2 billion, which it was supposed to receive from the government budget.”
“Do you want to solve the sanctions problem?” he continued. “Our naval forces should take 10 or 20 Americans as hostage every month. For each one of them, we should get $1 billion. If we get $1 billion per week, and the year has around 50 weeks. That’s at least $50 billion.”
The current Biden version of the deal gives Iran $1.2 billion for 5 hostages amounting to a total of $6 billion.
That beats the $1 billion target, but is lower than the proposed Iranian deals that would have traded 3 hostages for $7 billion. Paying a less outrageous ransom to kidnappers than the one originally proposed is only a deal if you’re an idiot. And you can bet that Biden’s people will make that argument.
When we pay ransom, we incentivize hostage-taking. And since Americans insist on going to Iran, a fresh supply of hostages is flying in every day.
There are things we could do about it, beginning with a ban on any Americans doing any kind of business with an Iranian entity, no matter what currency is used, and even if it means buying a soda at the airport.
Iran is a terror state. Any money input into it will directly or indirectly fund terrorism.
Put some serious fines behind it. Don’t exempt journalists or NGOs. When that trip to Iran isn’t just $10K, but suddenly comes with $150,000 worth of fines, the Iranians will end up with a lot less hostages.
Those are also the only kind of sanctions that may stop them from taking hostages.

A cruise missile on the heads of the mullahs would be a good negotiation tactic. And put a camera on it so we can see the fun and laugh.

I’m sorry Daniel, but you’re making too much sense for this administration to digest. It will require an AMERICA FIRST conservative to make that happen.
Frankly, I’ll be surprised if Biden doesn’t insentivize airlines to double flights to and from our “friends” in Iran.

It would make sense to prevent American citizens going to Iran, in light of the troubled history between the USA (and other European powers) and Iran (Persia).
It makes one wonder how relations between Iran and the USA deteriorated so badly. Where the USA and Britain are involved, it’s hardly likely that the blame lies solely at the ‘feet’ of Iran. It’s guaranteed that US and British meddling is, in some way, to blame (perhaps a desire to exploit the country for its natural resources, or to try and prevent it from having close relations with Russia – probably a mix of things).
It’s an unfortunate fact that, whereas once the USA and certain other western nations were viewed as ‘beacons of light’ to the world, it is now a fact that these nations are viewed as the main causes of trouble in the world. Even many Americans now recognise America as being behind most of the troubles in the world (fomenting ‘colour’ revolutions, proxy wars – ’twas the USA, I hear, that created ISIS – and other antics).
To call Iran a ‘terror state’, while ignoring its history, and what has led it to the point it is at, seems somewhat harsh. Although, I realise that Jews and Persians have also had their issues over millennia (and still have them – Israel being a key ally of the USA, with significant influence over US foreign and domestic policy).

We need to get ourselves out of the United Nations and moved the whole rotten lot to Moscow without America to finance them make t hem solved their own problems we can help other Nations after a Natural Disaster

“Meddling?” Foreign cash aid isn’t meddling and the fact that Iran still exists proves it’s the aggressor. The mulahs should’ve been taken out decades ago and it’s military destroyed.
As if Americans commit terrorism against Iran instead of the other way around.

Jeff, if I chose to, I could respond with crude comments, but I see little point in responding to the likes of you. If you speak and address people in person as you do from the safety of your computer screen I expect that soon someone will be filling your mouth with more than sausages – and deservedly so. If I ever encounter you in person, I’d struggle to restrain myself from knocking your block off. Learn some manners you filthy animal!

Sucking on a dick, Dickporn? Does it taste like breakfast sausage or a hot dog?
