Time for President Biden to follow 'The Gipper' and invoke the Reagan Doctrine against Iran

Listen to this article 0:00 / 7:11 1X BeyondWords Iran is already at war with America and threatens to destabilize the world. U.S. forces and bases are under fire in Iraq and Syria, having endured more than a hundred strikes by Iranian-backed militias in the past three months. Tehran-supported Houthi rebels have turned the Red Sea into a battlefield, having launched some 25 attacks on commercial vessels transiting the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to the head of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.

The disruption of traffic in the Suez Canal, one of the world’s busiest shipping routes in global trade, is sending shipping costs surging, threatening the world economy. And that is after Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7 and Hezbollah fired more than 1,000 rocket strikes on northern Israel.

President Biden’s response? A "final warning," issued by his administration on Wednesday, to cease attacks or face unspecified "consequences." Biden’s strongly worded missive followed Iran’s deployment of a warship in the Red Sea, after the U.S. military sunk three Houthi boats and killed 10 militants.

You are CRAZY if you think Biden will go after the Iranians knowing they are John Kerry’s family members.

Does Valerie Jarret have veto power over any policies involving Iran?

Well, to start, maybe the U.S. should simply remove its bases, and its forces, from Iraq and Syria and thus begin to mitigate some of the problem. The U.S. should have never gone into either country to begin with, and its certainly the case that we shouldn’t still be in either now.

Reagan never responded to the 444 day hostage crisis. I know it was over when he became POTUS, but what did Iran learn from that, given they really weren’t punished?

“U.S. forces and bases are under fire in Iraq and Syria...”

US Bases in Iraq and Syria? I can already see what the problem is...no need to explain further.

Not going to happen. The Brandon Administration has already demonstrated itself as allied with Iran. For example, the Houthis - an Iranian puppet regime - had been a State Department designated foreign terrorist organization until February 2021, when the designation was revoked by the Brandon administration.

Who is this “President Biden” they speak of? Another name for Susan Rice or John Kerry?
