Why Iran Considers Biden a 'Weak' President
The Gatestone Institute ^ | February 22, 2021 | Khaled Abu Toameh

The Arabs say they are worried because Iran sees Biden as a "weak" president, and that is why the mullahs in Tehran and their proxies in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon have increased their terrorist attacks in the Middle East.

Arabs are turning to the Biden administration with the frank plea: Your weak approach to the Iranian regime is already threatening whatever precarious stability exists in the Middle East. It is already emboldening terrorist groups. We are begging you: do not back down to Iranian threats.

Such messages show that many Arabs share Israel's concern over US and European efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. It is, frankly, the last thing the Arabs want. It will only lead to war and set back the region more years than one would care to count.

Biden/Harris busy returning America to Obamaweakness.

""In Tehran's eyes, Biden is a pushover," wrote Abdulrahman Al-Rashed, former editor-in-chief of the Saudi newspaper Ashraq Al-Awsat.

"It has only been eight weeks since President Joe Biden was sworn into office, but Iran has already tested him on several fronts. First, thousands of the Iran-backed Houthi militia rushed to threaten the densely populated city of Marib in Yemen. Afterwards, Iranian militias targeted Basra and Baghdad, and more recently, Erbil and Iraqi Kurdistan, with dozens of missiles, killing and wounding several individuals in a US facility. Then Lokman Slim, Iran's most prominent and vocal opponent in Beirut, was murdered and his body was found on the sidewalk."

Because the Iranians aren’t stupid, and don’t believe American Pravda?

Everyone see it. Even those who foolishly voted for him have to be aware of “Papa’s delicate condition”.
My guess is 80% of actual Biden voters were voting for anybody but Trump.

Everyone in the world including our “allies”, our enemies, and even most of the people who voted for know that Biden is a weak befuddled old placeholder for a person that the Public was not ready to embrace. Commie President Harris is already starting to take the reigns.

Its obvious to anyone observing from the outside - when 25,000 troops are sent to encircle the capitol after a highly contested election, its clear politics of that nation are severely fractured

Add to that the fact that Biden is clearly a puppet, controlled by others due to his decades of corruption, and now dementia - and it makes sense for Iran to gamble big.

Remember when America elected Obama, and within 2 years, China had all its South China Sea island basis built?

This is Biden’s first test. There will be many more.

Well.. a bit too late there. Biden is an adoring fan of Iran’s mullahs and China’s communists. He will not give a nanosecond of heed to warnings about instability. He believes he has a mandate to appease the regimes of both countries.

This Biden fellow is just a cypher.

Iran knows that Obama is their ally, and it is Obama that pulls the strings.

“Who will deal with the head of the snake?”


As so far displayed, Biden’s foreign policy (more correctly the foreign policy of those who control him) has sent a terrible message to our enemies and our allies. The message is that the days of Navy sailors being taken captive in the Straits of Hormuz, or worse, have returned. But, there may be an unintended consequence to this weakness by accomplishing what no politician has ever been able to do (although Pres. Trump started the process) - forging an alliance between Israel, Saudi Arabia and the other Sunni states against Iran. It seems war is on the horizon and it will not take four years to arrive. If the new Israel-Arab alliance is careful, plans will be kept secret and not shared with the Biden Administration.

Many years ago I read Henry Kissinger's memoirs, which were very self serving but he did reveal a lot about people he had dealt with. He described the Iranians as practitioners of realpolitik, always acting in ruthless pursuit of their own national interests. Of course, he was talking about the Shah's regime, but the Mullets appear to be a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same.

What that means in practice is no matter how much the Bite-me administration gives the Iranians in appeasement they will take all of it and demand more. They will never be appeased.
