The Obama administration has the power to sanction key Russian arms sales to Iran, but has so far abstained from exercising this right under U.S. law, prompting some in Congress to question whether the administration is “acquiescing” to the arms sales in order to appease Iran, according to conversations with sources and recent congressional correspondence to the White House exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
President Barack Obama has the authority under U.S. law to designate as illegal Russia’s contested sale to Iran of the S-300 missile system, an advanced long-range weapon that would boost the Islamic Republic’s regional military might.
However, the administration has declined for weeks to clarify its stance on new sanctions, despite expressing opposition to the sale. Administration officials have further declined to answer questions from the Free Beacon and other outlets about whether the president will consider taking action in the future.
The administration’s hesitance to act has prompted a new congressional inquiry, the Free Beacon has learned, and has sparked accusations that the White House is not exercising its sanction authority in order to prevent Iran from walking away from last summer’s nuclear deal.

Once Africa and Saudi Arabia is factored in, it WILL be Armageddon and these Marxist bastards just won’t believe it.
“Death to America”
What else would you expect from an (alien and a) muslim?
But from our White House?? WTF
But the trade sanctions against IZH that prevent US citizens from being able to by Kalashnikov, Makarov, and Baikal firearms remain in place.

Just another step in helping religious fanaticism
Not a peep from Congress.
Wonder what Israel thinks about this.
He shares the Jihadi obsession of the destruction of Israel.
As if........
The Russians have been selling everything the Iranians have wanted for many years. A blind eye was turned.
As a matter of fact, that idiot we have for a president is totally blind anyway, or alternatively he is the most treasonous POS America has ever had for a president.I opt for the later.
