The Biden administration has done it again, folks! They’ve extended a sanctions waiver for Iran, allowing the hostile regime access to around $10 billion from Iraq. What on earth are they thinking? This move comes as Iranian proxies continue to attack US forces and just a month after Iran-backed terrorists killed 1,200 people in Israel. That’s right, you heard correctly, 1,200 innocent lives lost because of Iran’s support for terrorism.
Under this ridiculous waiver, Iran will receive $10 billion from Iraq, but supposedly, it’s only for humanitarian trade. Yeah, like we’re supposed to believe that! The money can then be used to buy non-sanctioned products. So essentially, the Biden administration is giving Iran a huge allowance to spend however they please while pretending it’s for the good of the Iranian people. Give us a break!

The State Department is trying to defend this nonsensical decision, claiming that the money will only benefit the Iranian people. Seriously? If Iran is known for one thing, it’s certainly not using funds for humanitarian purposes. They’re experts at funding terrorism and causing chaos in the region. And now they’re being rewarded with $10 billion? It’s outrageous!
Let’s not forget that US troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked over 55 times by Iranian proxies since mid-October, with dozens of personnel getting injured. And what does the Biden administration do? They hand over billions to the very regime that’s behind these attacks. It’s a slap in the face to our brave men and women in uniform.
This isn’t the first time the Biden administration has caved to Iran. Just a few months ago, they unfroze $6 billion for Iran in exchange for the release of American detainees. And what did Iran’s president say? That they’ll use the money “wherever we need it.” Translation: they’ll use it for more terrorism and violence.
So, once again, the Biden administration has shown their true colors. They’d rather cozy up to a dangerous regime like Iran than stand up for American interests and national security. It’s shameful, it’s dangerous, and it’s a disgrace to the American people. Wake up, Biden!
