White House quietly removes sanctions on Iranian missile companies
Arutz Sheva ^ | 14/10/21 | Dan Verbin

An advocacy group that warns about the threat of a nuclear Iran has sounded the alarm after the US Treasury Department last week without explanation lifted sanctions on two firms that produced ballistic missiles for the Iranian regime.

United Against Nuclear Iran is questioning why the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFA) suddenly announced it would be removing sanctions on Mammut Industrial Group and its subsidiary Mammut Diesel.

Both companies were sanctioned in September 2020 for “providing support to an entity in Iran’s ballistic missile program.”

The Treasury Department said at the time that “Mammut Industries and Mammut Diesel are key producers and suppliers of military-grade, dual-use goods for Iran’s missile programs.”

“The delisting follows the July 2021 lifting of sanctions on three Iranians who were major shareholders and executives of the Mammut Industrial Group,” United Against Nuclear Iran said in a statement.

“The Biden Administration has thus far not been forthcoming on the reasons behind the lifting of these sanctions, and it has not confirmed that the delisted individuals and entities have verifiably ceased their sanctionable behavior," the advocacy group said. "At the same time, the administration denied that its actions are indicative of a broader shift in Iran sanctions policy or are in any way linked to inducements to bring Tehran back to stalled nuclear negotiations.”

The group called for the White House to release more information about why the decision was necessary.

If an Iranian agent was setting U.S. foreign policy what would he do differently?

So you kind of need foreign governments protecting you?

That’s pretty strong right there isn’t it?

If Iran builds a nuclear missile and destroys D.C. with it, I will be the first to say “I told you so.”

It appears that Jobama’s treasonous illegitimate WH regime is setting us and Israel up to be attacked by Iran. It has to be part of their conquer America plan because there is obviously no retreating for them at this point.
Another Trump Presidency in conjunction with a majority of Very pissed off Americans will spell the end of their communist movement.

They may assassinate Trump to stop them. But that would mean that it’s on. CWII, and they’re discharging servicemen over the vaccine mandate. Gosh. I wonder how they feel about that.

On the other hand, they may realize that that’s not the way to go, and despite all their dirty tricks he wins with a big mandate and majorities in virtually every legislature and governors in virtually every state house. In which case it’s on. Culture War and the demise of big tech and the MSM. If no advertisers will risk their credibility with more fake news, that’s the end for them. If enough decent people are in government to make an anti-trust suit stick, there goes Bezos, et al. With a real Justice Department, anti-fa and BLM get prosecuted under RICO, and so does Soros.

You think you’re safe? Do you think the US was just doing England a favor back in 1943?

One thing Biden’s fecklessness will do is make an alliance between Israel and Saudi Arabia a done deal. India, too. You can live your little fantasy at your own risk.

(Trump: "The 'leaders' of this country have gone crazy")

"Former President Trump weighs in on crisis at southern border. 'Our country is a laughingstock all over the world.'

Who is in charge? Can our Senators do anything like reigning in Biden?

Not with this Senate, unless Sinema and Manchin switch sides, or somebody dies suddenly with a Republican governor making the appointment.
