‘Totally Insane’: Biden-Harris Admin Openly Admits Iran Became Enriched During Its Tenure
Daily Caller ^ | 09 Oct 2024 | Jake Smith

Posted on 10/10/2024 11:50:14 PM PDT by blueplum

The Biden-Harris administration openly admitted in early October that Iran has become enriched under its policies and leadership....

The Biden-Harris administration has seemingly eased sanctions against Iran in recent years, allowing the Islamic regime to rake in billions from oil revenues — and a new report from the administration itself published in October outlines exactly how much the regime has made....

During the Trump administration’s tenure and “maximum pressure” sanctions campaign against Iran, Tehran’s oil revenues fell from roughly $65 billion in 2018 to $28 billion in 2019, and even lower at $16 billion in 2020... When President Joe Biden took office, the number jumped year over year — $37 billion in Iranian oil revenues in 2021, $54 billion in 2022 and $53 billion in 2023....

The report further explains that Iran was exporting roughly 527,000 barrels of petroleum products per day in 2018 under Trump, compared to 916,000 in 2023 under Biden. Crude oil and condensate barrel exports were roughly 704,000 per day in 2018 under Trump, and over 1.3 million under Biden in 2023...

“The Biden-Harris administration has seemingly eased sanctions”

Seemingly? Biden Admin publicly announced they were easing sanctions, and did so. At the time of the Oct. 7 attacks they were seeking to ease sanctions further. Even after Oct. 7 they were still trying to ease sanctions and there were stories in the press that the Administration was frustrated because Oct.7 might make it difficult to continue to ease sanctions.

Obama gave Iran billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars, in cash. Biden removed sanctions, giving them billions more. Democrats have been funding the terrorist regime in Iran for years.

It is not just the sanctions that lowered Iran, OPEC and Russian oil revenues.
It was the fact that under Trump they increased the amount of oil being produced in the US.
Bringing the Brent Crude and WTI price to around $27/barrel.
Where Trump filled the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Then during covid oil dropped to Below Zero on the futures delivery price for WTI because all the tanks in Texas were full.

By dropping the price of oil you lower the revenue to 1/3 of what OPEC is selling the same product today.
That equals billions in lower revenue.
This is also how Trump could control Putin.
Russia lives and dies based on the price of oil.

Trump lowered the price to below the cost of production for almost all the oil producers in the world. Even the ones here in Oklahoma and other domestic producers

Speaking of ‘enriched’ .... Rumor (and seismic measurements) has it that Iran tested its first Nuclear bomb a couple of days ago.

It’s not insane, it’s the intended purpose of the Obama doctrine: diminish America, empower her enemies, support Marxist Islamic coalition causes.
Simply put he hijacked America and is now attempting his forth term of his death to America agenda.
Islamic scholars will write him as histories greatest ghazi.

The Biden-Harris regime can totally admit, what every sentient person knows, that they and their administration officials have committed treason against the United States, because they know that nothing will be done about it.

Iran has been helping sell embargoed Russian oil on the world market.

The sanctions on Russia have been ineffective.

I think Putin is in on all of this with Biden/Harris and the war in Ukraine is a charade.

Sounds like giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Isn’t there a term for that?
