Lame-duck President Joe Biden has decided to add a twist to the post-election drama by unfreezing a staggering $10 billion in assets for the radical regime of Iran, just two days after Donald Trump’s electoral victory. It seems that in his desperate attempt to sow chaos on his way out, Biden’s bitterness and vindictiveness are now openly on display, leaving many wondering what he is trying to accomplish.
For those keeping score, Biden was unceremoniously ejected from the 2024 race, abandoned by his party as they collectively tried to distance themselves from his disastrous presidency. Instead of gracefully stepping aside, he appears determined to make life more difficult for the incoming Trump administration. The renewed partisan efforts to support a country that has a notorious reputation for terrorism could very well be his final act of defiance.

In a move that can only be described as astonishingly reckless, the Biden administration has issued another sanctions waiver, this time allowing Iraq to transfer $10 billion to Iran under the guise of electricity import payments. It is practically a slap in the face to every American who believes in protecting national security. How does handing over billions to a country that constantly threatens the stability of the Middle East and finances terrorism somehow serve the interests of the United States?
This waiver saga has been going on for some time now, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken justifying the move as being “in the national security interest of the United States.” The absurdity of this rationale is hard to miss. It raises the question of what kind of logic runs through this administration—certainly not one that prioritizes American safety and the security of its allies like Israel. Instead, it looks like more appeasement of our foes and a continuation of failed policies that only embolden them.
With the latest waiver extending the relief for another 120 days, the stage is set for the Trump administration to either uphold or reject this absurd deal. As the clock ticks down to January 20, 2025, one thing is clear: Biden’s dangerous antics may serve only to inflame tensions in an already volatile region while unnecessarily complicating the task for the next president. The countdown has begun, and many are eager to see a return to a more rational foreign policy and a stronger line against terrorist regimes.
