After Iran Killed 3 U.S. Soldiers, Biden Regime Gives It $10,000,000,000 Sanctions Waiver

Treason.

This story is worse than it sounds. And while that’s true of nearly everything this administration does, it’s truly true here.

Iran’s terror militias launched a wave of rocket attacks against American soldiers in Iraq and Syria under Biden. There were dozens of these attacks last year alone.

In the spring of 2023, Scott Patrick Dubis, a 52-year-old military contractor who had worked on U.S. military bases in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar, was killed by an Iranian-backed attack.

Now, three US Army soldiers were killed and over 30 were wounded in an Iranian-backed drone attack on a position on the Jordanian-Syrian border. This is the worst death toll in some time.

Beyond that, Iran was behind the Hamas Oct 7 attack which killed over 30 Americans and we’re in a battle with its Houthi proxies over shipping in the Red Sea.

So what does Joe Biden go ahead and do?

The Biden administration on Wednesday reapproved a sanctions waiver that unlocks upwards of $10 billion in frozen funds for the Iranian government, according to a copy of the notice submitted to Congress late Wednesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

But this is Joe Biden we’re talking about. In October 2001, Biden proposed that, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.”

So why is this story even worse than it sounds?

“The sanctions waiver—which has drawn fierce GOP opposition on Capitol Hill—allows Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party countries.”

Now remember, Iran has effectively taken over Iraq. 3 American soldiers were killed because Iran has developed major Shiite militia forces across Iraq. The transfer payments prop up Iraq’s dependency on Iran which leads to further attacks on Americans. This is not some sort of indirect issue, it’s the core problem.

Not only is Iran profiting, but Iraq continues to be wired into Iran which makes a mockery of the entire war.

The State Department would not immediately confirm transmitting the sanctions waiver to Congress, but defended its previous renewals on Tuesday in response to Free Beacon questions.

“Since 2018, the waiver has remained necessary as Iraq weans itself off Iranian energy imports, which cannot happen overnight,” a State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon. “And Iraq is making progress in its path to energy self-sufficiency by increasing regional electricity interconnections, capturing and utilizing natural gas associated with oil production, and developing new domestic gas resources.”

2018. Six years later, Iraq has yet to “wean itself off”.

Iraq has plenty of its own natural gas. It keeps buying Iranian energy because its government is corrupt and because Iran’s Shiite catspaws run the place. Rather than put a stop to this, Biden is authorizing it by providing yet more waivers so the same corrupt arrangement remains in place.
