Iran Launches Attack on U.S. Consulate in Iraq and Biden Still Pursues a Deal
The New York Sun ^ | March 13, 2022 | Beni Avni

As Iranian terrorists attack an American consulate in Iraq and threaten former American officials, the Biden administration is scrambling in what appears to be a last-ditch attempt to revive the Iran appeasement — and might even be prepared to delist Iran from its terrorist list.

The attack in Iraq involved at least 12 ballistic missiles. They were launched from Iran overnight and landed near the American consulate at Erbil, Iraq. The State Department reported there was no damage to the consulate and no casualties, but it condemned the attack as “outrageous.”

Yet America is declining to call off negotiations in the aftermath of the attack. “We will have to see” about the fate of the deal, the national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told CBS this morning.

I’ve got a GREAT IDEA…

What if we pay a terror regime not to attack us by giving them Billions of Dollars and nuclear weapons?

I am afraid we are going to experience just how correct Trump is on Iran. This is worse than nonsense. . . .

My bet is SA. Oil is the key to the west. Attack SA and the west collapses.

Not sure if they were aiming at the US embassy. And the US Government concurs.

https://www.state.gov/irans-missile-strikes-on-the-kurdistan-region-of-iraq/

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on its website it launched the strike against an Israeli “strategic center of conspiracy” in Erbil, warning of more attacks. And no US property was hit and no US casualties. They were aiming at “Mossad [Israeli intelligence] bases.” And there is no way to get the Israelis to come out and say they are there.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying Iran fired 10 Fateh missiles, including several Fateh-110 missiles, which have a range of about 300 kilometers (186 miles). The Fateh-110 is a short-range, road-mobile, solid-propellant ballistic missile. It is most likely a modified version of the unguided Zelzal-2, with the addition of control and guidance systems. While the program is based in Iran, the missile is believed to incorporate components from Chinese contractors. In 2006, the US Department of Treasury accused Chinese firm Great Wall Industry and its partners of playing a lead role in the development of the Fateh missile system.2 Iran has launched several Fateh missiles, as well as longer-range variants like the Zolfaghar, in military operations since 2017.

No surprise here. Iran is one of the biggest customers of China for bio warfare products. A delivery system would be part of the deal. And missiles can carry a lot of different weapons. Iran has sent missiles into Israel before so this might be a warning to the US at the same time with this Iraq attack. They can probably bluff Biden, so they are doing it, since no US property was hit. Two for one attack.

biden will allow iran to do whatever it wants. It was a condition of his getting placed in the White House.

Read the deal he’s trying to sign off on. It gives Iran everything, for nuclear development to long range missle development in return for...wait for it...NOTHING! Tell me Obama isn’t pulling Joe’s strings. He won’t call it a Treaty because that would require Congressional approval, which even he knows won’t pass. This is wholesale sellout of US security to a terrorist state, and Dufus knows it.

BIDEN’S handlers still pursue an Iran Deal...

Biden is totally lost in the woods...did any media see or report on his whereabouts over the week end? It is now Monday, WHERE IS THE OLD TIMER?

STILL LOST AND STILL UNDER ‘COVER UP’.

That is because Biden does not think like a man. He thinks like a small child. We needed a man in the White House but the democrats committed fraud in every way they could think of. But mostly it was mail-in voting.
