Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has extended a sanctions waiver in order to release another $10 billion in frozen funds for Iran.
According to the Associated Press, the four-month extension will allow the Iranian regime access to previously frozen $10 billion in electricity revenues.
The Biden admin insists that the terror-linked Islamic dictatorship will use the funds for “humanitarian aid.”
However, experts have repeatedly warned that giving Iran to access frozen funds will free up money in Tehran’s money reserves.
By freeing up Iran’s reserves, the regime will be able to continue sponsoring terrorism and developing nuclear weapons.
The sanctions waiver will authorize Iraq to continue purchasing electricity services from Iran, according to the AP.
The move will also give Tehran access to the billions in payments currently stored in the Iraqi banks.
The Biden admin argues that Iran has only spent a small amount of the existing $10 billion.
The Iranian government has reportedly agreed that the fund will only be used for humanitarian relief.
The Biden admin also freed up $6 billion in previously frozen Iranian oil revenues in September, as Slay News reported.
The unfreezing was part of a hostage negotiations deal that saw the release of five American prisoners.
Foreign policy experts have slammed the Biden admin for allowing Iran to access frozen funds as it frees up its cash reserves for other purposes.
In a Tuesday post on Twitter/X, Richard Goldberg, senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, warned that the funds will help Iran to fund terrorist attacks.
“Biden administration doubles down on giving $10 billion sanctions relief to Iran,” Goldberg said.
“Money is fungible.
“This is 100% budget support for the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”
Iran supports several terrorist groups to carry out its will, including Hamas.
Last month, Hamas killed over 1,400 civilians in attacks on Israel that began on October 7.
Iran-backed terrorists have launched 46 attacks on U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
It is even worse than that.
These traitorous, putrid, corrupt scumbags holding the reins of power truly hate and despise America and Americans.
Even today, after all of this, all of it, over the last 30 years, CANNOT believe we are giving Iran $10 Billion Dollars. I don't give two damns about whether the money is or is not historically somehow theirs.
IF YOU DISARM A PERSON TRYING TO MURDER YOU, YOU DON'T HAND THE WEAPON BACK TO THEM BECAUSE "IT BELONGS TO THEM"!!!!!!!!
Biden is not in charge. This is the work of Obama, Jarrett, et al. It is TREASON.
TREASON.
If this country were sane, these people pushing this would be tried, convicted of treason, and punished to the FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY AMERICAN LAW.
Wow. How do the parents of the military personnel killed and injured in the attacks in Iraq and Syria feel about giving the murderers $10 BILLION USD?
THIS IS TREASON.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This is the work of Obama........
No question.
With all the humanitarian aid we gave to Saddam...he built 50 palaces.
Joe might only be giving into the inevitable.
Iraqi Shiites may wish to fund Iranian Shiites funding terrorist Muslims attacking Israel.
WTAF??
It's an outrage. A genuine outrage, not the phony kind the Left whine about due to what they call microaggressions. But tens of millions of people will still vote for Democrats next year.
That ought to get the”Big Guy” a couple of nice Persian rugs. . . . Pure unadulterated evil. . . .
Biden Genocide$ to kill Jews.
Forget Biden, he’s nothing more then a stooge. Someone, with big stones, should ask Obama and Valerie Jarrett about this..
Biden doesn’t know what day it is, and if you think he’s the most radical of the leftists, then you have no clue.
There’s plenty of oil not in Syria.
I think “our betters” want them to get killed and used as a reason to go to war with Iran.
Why do we have those two carrier groups in the region now?
Stability, war footing, etc?…
BTTT
its almost like he wants escalation
It sure doesn't seem to be ours... :(
Obama tells Biden to release $$$ to Obama’s best buddies, Iran.
The unfreezing was part of a hostage negotiations deal that saw the release of five American prisoners.
We need Trump.
Agree.
“Why do we have those two carrier groups in the region now?
Stability, war footing, etc?…”
I have no idea.
From an ol’ Grunt’s point of view, it looks like a war footing.
When the bombers are moving towards their FOBs and the 82nd and 101st on alert, then we are going to war... with someone.
