The United States agreed to lift sanctions on Iran's oil and gas sector and shipping, as well as the country's top leadership. This was reported by Reuters.

"Iran said on Wednesday the United States had agreed to remove all sanctions on Iran's oil and shipping," the message reads.

As Rouhani's chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi, told Reuters, an agreement was reached between Iran and the United States to lift all sanctions on Iran's insurance, oil and shipping, which were imposed by former US President Donald Trump.

"About 1,040 Trump-era sanctions will be lifted under the agreement. It was also agreed to lift some sanctions on individuals and members of the supreme leader's inner circle," Vaezi said.

Meanwhile, Russia is preparing to supply Iran with an advanced satellite system that will give Tehran an unprecedented ability to track potential military targets across the Middle East and beyond. The Washington Post reported that citing current and former US and Middle Eastern officials.

According to the officials cited by the Post, Iran would get a Russian-made Kanopus-V satellite equipped with a high-resolution camera which will allow Tehran to “continuously keep an eye on facilities ranging from Persian Gulf oil refineries and Israeli military bases to Iraqi barracks that house US troops”, the Post reported.

An increase in terrorism means an increase in the power of the National Security State.

Easy peasy.

Biden via General Obama aids and abets our enemies while oppressing us at home.

Biden shuts down Key Stone pipeline and 15000 USA worker jobs because of the supposed harm it does to the climate and now removes oil production sanctions on Iran which will cause even more harm to the climate.

How much of the payoff will make it’s way to Puppet Biden and Valery Jarett? We are seeing corruption at its worst out in the open.

I am wondering what motivates Democrats to surrender to our enemies? We know Democrats are scared $hitless all the time. Just look at them with their face diapers. Does all it take for an ememy to win is to have a strong posture? In domestic politics, Democrats rarely surrender. Maybe all these eff’n RINOs in DC never fight. Rats are never afraid of RINOs.

Shuttering Keystone XL makes sense because it is a blow against global warming. Carbon dioxide is a “woke” gas that only causes global temperature to rise when emitted by white people. Even though Iranians share a common ancestor with European peoples they are excused because they have the same enemy as do the Democrats: The United States of America.

Biden has two masters, one is Obama and the other is Putin. He is the POTUS only because Obama commanded it to happen. Once Obama realized Biden was a willing puppet, he took over the election with every crooked instrument available.

Putin, of course, has documented all of Biden’s misadventures, all of his money laundering, fraud, etc. activities. Putin could probably supply enough evidence to put Biden and his family in prison for life. So Biden may have a mental disability, but he knows how to survive. Obey the masters!!

The Mullahs keep telling Biden they are not going to budge on anything just to make a deal with him, so Biden keeps paying them more with additional benefits of U.S. policy changes. From their perspective the diplomatic blackmail is working and continues to demonstrate Biden is far more hungry for a deal with them than they are for a deal with him.

“...What does the US get?...”

Well, certain US lefties are holding out hope that Iran might be able to offer a Final Solution to that pesky Jew Problem that Palestine has.
