Iran Using U.S. Cash to Fund Unprecedented, Massive Military Buildup

Tehran seeks to completely overhaul, revamp military might to counter U.S.!

Iran is using the billions in cash resources provided under the landmark nuclear deal to engage in an unprecedented military buildup meant to transform the Islamic Republic's fighting force into an "offensive" juggernaut, according to a largely unreported announcement by Iranian military leaders that has sparked concern among U.S. national security insiders and sources on Capitol Hill.

Iranian officials announced late last month that Iran's defense budget had increased by 145 percent under President Hassan Rouhani and that the military is moving forward with a massive restructuring effort aimed at making it "a forward moving force," according to regional reports.

Iranian leaders have stated since the Iran deal was enacted that they are using the massive amounts of cash released under the agreement to fund the purchase of new military equipment and other armaments. Iran also has pursued multi-million dollar arms deals with Russia since economic sanctions were nixed as part of the deal.

Dang. You got me excited when I saw the words “Free Bacon”!

On a serious side, why should we be surprised? This is Liberal Largesse in exactly the same way that the Clinton Administration doled it out to the North Koreans.

How on Earth can this be? It’s almost as if a FORMER _Resident air-lifted pallets of cash to them or something!

The effects of EVERY _Resident from the Socialist Democrat Party never, ever go away - and always make America and the rest of the world a more dangerous place.

I’ll never understand it. It’s Pure Evil, the things that Socialists have done to America and the world...and they get AWAY with it! I’ve yet to see ONE head on a pike.

Pres Trump, fresh from selling out AMERICAN conservatives
on the borders, on ObamaCARE, etc., etc.,
also sold out Israel and its people today,
agreeing to give Iran access to Israel's borders.

Putin & Trump discuss Iranians on Israel’s border [calls Iran on borders: "very good".

The Iranian regime has went from bankrupt and teetering on collapse to the biggest offensive military and terrorism build up in Middle Eastern history.

The only way Obama could have been more helpful to Iran's terror masters was to have pressed the red ballistic missile launch button for them himself
