No. Only after the Biden regime came into power and did two things:
a) forced the Saudis to stop fighting the Houthis by cutting off military assistance;
b) opened the money spigots to Teheran by dropping sanctions and transferring billions in frozen assets.
There are Iranian agents working at both DOD and State and I think anyone at State working on ME policy is on their payroll.
It is very interesting that we get such a whiplash swing in ME policy between the two administrations.
We all know that the State Dept is a nest of vipers and foreign agents. One hopes that administrations (on either side of the spectrum) would be a tiny bit more loyal to the citizens that pay its payroll, but that does not seem to be the case.
Also odd how the media seems top focus on the squirrels and to ignore what is happening behind the curtains.
An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur?
