Biden admin’s lax sanctions enforcement drives Iranian military spending
The Biden administration’s lax enforcement of sanctions on Iran’s illicit oil trade has allowed the hardline regime to infuse more than $15 billion into its military and terrorist proxies during the past two years, according to analysis by a watchdog group. Iranian military spending significantly jumped in 2022 as the regime got more access to cash through its multibillion-dollar trade in illicit oil—cash that made its way to the regime as a result of the Biden administration’s decision not to enforce U.S. sanctions, according to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that tracks the regime’s oil sales and military spending. Iran, according to a report by UANI and an open source military spending database, has allocated $10.5 billion this year for its military and Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a paramilitary fighting force that backs terrorist groups across the region. That number, which jumped from $4.5 billion in 2021, comes after the regime took in some $43 billion in funds from illicit oil sales, primarily to China. This cash is fueling Iran’s regional terror enterprise, as well as its crackdown at home on a growing protest movement that threatens to topple the hardline regime.
Interesting that a country’s sale of its own oil is “illicit” because we say so. Sanctions only succeed in making enemies.
Yes, on the other hand, why do I think K Street finds this profitable good news. Sir Basil Zaharoff strongly endorses Iran’s buildup,
More evidence of sanctions failing and backfiring.

We’re sitting here watching it happen.
He’s obviously pro-Iran’s mullahs - with that lens, it explains everything, from the JCPOA until today.
Zagros Mountains, Iran.

I’m no geologist. What is that?
Actually, what matters is the Obama legacy Nuclear agreement. That’s what’s the problem.
Biden Obama legacy enforcers let the sanctions slide to encourage Iran to make a new nuclear deal.
Further, Biden tried to screw Saudi Arabia and the others that are part of the Trump developed Abrams accord. The uniting of the major Arabs with Israel in an anti-Iran coalition negates the necessity for the worthless Obama nuclear agreement.
To slap Biden where it hurts in retribution, Saudi Arabia convinced OPEC to reduce production to drive prices up just before the election. The Saudi move is political, anti Biden and Pro Trump
By uniting the major Arabs and Israel Trump literally changed the world and die hard Obamaists can’t stand it or do anything about it.

Salt mountains. Forget Pink Himalayan Salt. I want some of that blue salt.
It’s part of Biden’s War For Terror.
That’s the good stuff... :)

For- is right.
Terror is winning. Biden is pretending to care. Ultra MAGA Trump supporters are waiting patiently for November.
For now.
