Our weakened leadership only further emboldened Iran. Joe Biden is eating ice cream on a beach in Delaware and cannot form a coherent sentence. Kamala Harris has no original ideas, simply warning Iran, “Don’t.”
In May 2018, Trump withdrew America from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal. The Trump Administration cut Iran off from receiving arms by reactivating an embargo through the United Nations. Sanctions only work in extremely rare situations, Trump’s sanctions on Iran were one of those exceptions. The Iranian economy crumbled under US imposed sanctions of crucial sectors such as energy. Donald Trump declared that these measures would prevent “illicit terrorist and nuclear activities.”
The Biden/Harris establishment quickly undid Trump-era sanctions to embolden Iran. The neocons needed their opponent to fund the proxy war, after all. Biden/Harris waived sanctions on Iran and attempted to revive the Iranian nuclear deal, as did the European Union. In March 2023, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris released over $10 billion in frozen Iranian assets held in Iraq and South Korea. Biden-Harris insisted that Iran needed humanitarian aid and that these funds would help rebuild the Iranian economy. Despite active terrorist groups running the nation, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris lifted the terrorism designation for the Houthis before later reimplementing at the request of Israel. Iran has been permitted to rebuild its military, which it has always intended to use against the West.
