As Iran’s attack against Israel plays out, critics are blaming President Joe Biden for green-lighting a threat from Iran rather than deterring it.
Just months into Biden’s term, he stood on the White House lawn. He told reporters that he was “pleased Iran has continued to agree to engage in discussions, in direct discussions with us and with our partners on how we move forward and what is needed to allow us to move back.”
However, nearly four years later Biden’s statement rings untrue.
Instead, his failed policies and lack of dominance against Iran led to the downfall of Israel which, as of Saturday, is preparing for dozens of drone strikes to hit the region.
Since 2021, Biden has done nothing in regard to the Iran policy and the nuclear program he promised to deliver.
Thanks to the president’s reckless actions and lack of policy, the United States is at risk of becoming involved in war with Iran. Meanwhile, Biden has done nothing but enable the Iranian regime's terrorism.
Amid rising tensions between Iran and Israel, in October Biden issued a waiver to allow the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenue that U.S. sanctions had blocked.

In addition, Iran has enough weapons-grade uranium to build a bomb within days, and enough to assemble six weapons within 30 days. An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander said that U.S. weapons that were left in Afghanistan after Biden's botched withdrawal ended up in the wrong hands in the Middle East, including Iran.

Notwithstanding the advances in Iran’s nuclear weapons work, and its decision to enrich uranium to 60 percent (in violation not only of its obligations under the JCPOA, but also under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT), there has been no formal statement from the Biden administration that its previous policy is dead. Former Pentagon official Colin Kahl told Congress in testimony in February 2023 that there was “still the view that if you could resolve this issue diplomatically and put constraints back on their nuclear program, it is better than the other options. But right now, the JCPOA is on ice.” Privately, Biden was even more forward, telling a woman who attended a rally in November 2022 that the Iran nuclear deal was “dead.” When Iran's special envoy Robert Malley was suspended from his position for still-unclear security violations, it appeared that all hopes for rejuvenating the Iran nuclear deal were dashed.

Biden also lifted the terrorist designation for the Iran-backed group Houthis and eased sanctions on violators of U.S. oil in Iran, increasing the country’s economic growth by four percent.
In 2020, Biden said that he feared former President Donald Trump would get the U.S. into war with Iran. However, the tables have turned.

The president has been weak on the global stage, allowing for attacks to happen as he sits back doing nothing.
In response to an expected Iran threat earlier this week, Biden gave a one-word so-called threat: “Don’t.”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum that Biden’s response was “really dangerous.”
“Well, he said don’t multiple times and don’t isn’t a national security policy,” Pompeo said. “It’s not even a deterrent.”
Remember when Iran was BROKE, under Pres Trump???
The best thing Biden could do is shut the hell up and go back to Delaware and go back to bed. This is above his pay grade.
We all know Joe’s not in charge anyway.
A true American leader will be making comments about this travesty shortly.
Joe knows he is not president. He wants to live beyond leaving office and not be put to sleep in some state with uthenasia laws... Of course Joe is backing Israel - they stomp on God at home in the US and around the world, but the LGBTQ DNC has meant their match in Israel. No hiding the truth - the US is aligned with Isreal to the death.
None of this would be happening under a President Trump.
Agreed. He is not running the country. Someone or someones are running the country.
Obama: Joe, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do about Iran.
Biden: The only difference between us is the pallets of cash would have been lighter by 10% to the Big Guy.
Thanks for funding terrorism President Retard
The Iranian regime could have been gone for good years ago when there were mass uprisings in the country. Don’t forget who abandoned those in Iran who were seeking pro western change.
What “failed” policies? This was exactly what was intended.
Iran invaded Israel via their proxy army Hamas as a direct result of Trump and Kushner’s peace deal between Israel and Saudi that destabilized the balance of power.
Biden didn’t fail. Biden succeeded in goading and inviting Iran into its attacks.
Plus, he financed Iran and protected Iran all the way
Suure. That’s why Biden gave Iran $4 billion on 9/11 last year, yes?
Opus?
“Agreed. He is not running the country. Someone or someones are running the country.“
..anyone remember a “President” who secretly sent BILLIONS of American cash over to IRAN - very late in his second term???
… the name escapes me…. Anyone??
The proximate cause of both wars is Biden’s energy policy.
By doubling fuel costs on air in 2021-
hundreds of billions of extra revenue have been collected by Russia and Iran.
It is our energy policy vs our tax dollars times two.
The DNC played games over Gaza, but now Joe got the memo to back Israel. Of course his insaine woke handlers already destroyed his reelection chances with this double take. Seems like the daily DNC just got bitch slapped into reality and put the Jews first ahead the
Muzzies.
By your logic you know zero about Muslim scum. Since Mohammed they have murdered, robbed, raped and enslaved every person to include their brothers.
On a daily badis the DNC gets away with BS policy against Israel... but look at those bent knee jackass’s giving Israel 100% support and at the time dropping Ukraine.
Russia gets Ukraine and we gat Iran.
