Joe Biden is on the verge of giving another rich favor to the terrorist tyrant who backs the Iranian government. According to reports, the administration plans to extend its waiver of sanctions, which would allow it to regain access to assets worth up to $10 billion that have been frozen.
The purported use of this money windfall is for humanitarian endeavors. But considering Iran’s past, it is more probable that the funds would be used to support non-humanitarian projects.
“A group of GOP congressmen claim that the Biden team is about to award Iran a new sanctions waiver that will allow it to access over $10 billion in frozen money, giving Tehran “a financial lifeline” while it supports terrorism throughout the Middle East.”
“The State Department approved a sanctions waiver in November, just after Hamas attacked Israel, allowing Iraq to send multibillion-dollar power payments to Iran. If the Biden administration doesn’t extend the waiver, Tehran would lose access to almost $10 billion in blocked money this month.”
Iraq would be able to pay the Iranian government for power under the waiver. Tehran would gain a tremendous deal from it, receiving significant resources. “By waiving the application of sanctions, the administration is maintaining a financial lifeline for the Iranian regime, even as it continues to support terrorist organizations around the world,” House Republicans claimed in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, opposing the action.
The Iranian government has a well-established history of financing terrorism, which may serve as a sign of further such activities in the event that the Biden administration approves the waiver. The letter claims that Iran “has a history of lying regarding humanitarian dealings.” “There is no reason to believe that they won’t attempt to evade these limitations in the future.”
In addition to undermining international efforts to battle terrorist organizations, lifting these restrictions may put American soldiers serving overseas in jeopardy.
The Biden administration’s decision to lift more sanctions, according to Richard Goldberg, who formerly worked with the White House National Security Council on the Iran portfolio, “supported October 7” and the “death of three American soldiers in Jordan.”
Since this is a terrible idea, the Biden administration will probably implement it.
Providing further financial support to Iran’s regime would exacerbate the already terrible situation at a time when worries about terrorism have increased as a result of the Gaza conflict. In fact, the leadership has previously provided support for terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas to attack Israel.
It was discovered soon after Hamas’s current conflict began that Iran had assisted in organizing the terrorist organization’s October 7 onslaught on Israel, during which 1,200 Israeli troops and civilians were cruelly killed and hundreds more were held captive. This is by no means endorsing “humanitarian” causes.
The president hasn’t learned his lesson, judging by the fact that he is even thinking about doing such a thing. That or he doesn’t give a damn if the billions of dollars he wants to provide the Iranian government enable additional heinous killings in the area by extremist terrorists.
