Why Does Biden Keep Helping Iran?

The Biden administration has permitted billions of taxpayer dollars to flow into Iran thanks to a waiver on sanctions despite the fact that rebels backed by the Iranian regime just attacked Israel (America’s closest ally), as well as launching airstrikes against American forces.

The waivers in question unlock approximately $10 billion more in funds previously frozen which enables Iraq to pay the Iranian regime for electricity services according to critics which were cited in the Washington Free Beacon.

Senator Dan Sullivan says the one problem with regards to the Middle East is that Joe Biden has allowed Iran to financially blossom as foreign reserves have ballooned to $75 billion in just three years.

According to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, “Iran has, unfortunately, always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism, on supporting groups like Hamas, and it’s done that when there’ve been sanctions when there haven’t been sanctions, it’s always prioritized that.”

In 2018, the waiver program was established by the Biden administration and just last month, the White House extended the waiver right before its expiration in March, a mere six weeks after an Iranian-backed militant group attacked and killed three United States service members, injuring dozens more.

The waiver is “necessary” according to the State Department because it “weans itself [Iraq] off Iranian energy imports” while developing domestic oil and gas production.

“That money is held in restricted accounts overseas with strict oversight and in close coordination between the Departments of Treasury and State,” the State Department told the New York Post.

“None of Iran’s money held in restricted accounts overseas has gone to Iran, and we have not freed up any cash to Iran. Any notion to the contrary is false and misleading.”

“Under these waivers, no money has been permitted to enter Iran,” a State Department official stated to the Washington Free Beacon.

“These funds, which are held abroad in third countries, can only be used for transactions for the purchase of food, agricultural commodities, medicine, medical devices, and other non-sanctionable transactions.

Republicans don’t believe the Biden State Department, and instead, they believe the funds are being used to fund Iran’s terrorist operations.

Senator Sullivan stated. “Think about this: by the end of the Trump administration, because of the massive sanctions we had put on the oil and gas sector, the Iranians had about $4 billion left in foreign reserves. That’s not a lot of money at all in terms of foreign reserves.”

Senator Sullivan went on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” to discuss the necessity of reimposing sanctions on Iran but that Biden is “too afraid to do it.”

“The Biden administration comes in and immediately says, ‘We’re not going to enforce those sanctions. As a matter of fact, we’re going to get Iran money.’ And right now Iran has well over $75 billion in foreign reserves in the three years since the Trump administration.

“And guess what they’re using that $75 billion for? To fund Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, to train them,” Sullivan said.

Appeasing Iran seems to be the default position of the Biden administration which is no surprise especially after Biden reinstated the Iran deal which he helped facilitate when he was Vice President under Barack Obama.

Funding and assisting Iran through the Iran Deal, as well as through these waivers, not only puts Americans at risk here at home, but also places her allies at risk overseas, including Israel.

Facts about the Iran Deal and how it empowers the Iranian regime:

1. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action didn’t end Tehran’s nuclear program. It only slowed it down. The pact was more of a speed bump than a stop sign as the majority of restrictions on uranium enrichment expire after 2025 and permit Tehran to expand enrichment to an industrial scale after 2030.

2. The deal didn’t capture Tehran’s development of ballistic missiles.

3. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action doesn’t allow for “anytime, anywhere” inspections, this means International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors aren’t allowed to visit undeclared facilities without permission.

These are just three of the many disturbing facts about the Iran Deal and how the Biden Administration, by restoring the agreement, is empowering the Islamic regime on top of the waiver system.
