When lefty administrations go after conservative Israeli governments, it’s often because they’re carrying out a preemptive strike on policy that the Israelis would otherwise oppose. The ‘New Middle East’ and the Iran Deal were class examples.
Now the Iran Deal that refuses to die, no matter how discredited it may be, is making a comeback in an even worse form.
The Iran Lobby did not spend all of that time trying to elect Biden, nor did Iranian hackers try to intimidate Florida voters just to get the same old deal as under Obama. That deal was bad, but about a no-deal deal?
Axios reported today that the Biden administration has been discussing the contours of a new nuclear deal with Tehran since January. The prospective agreement would lift some U.S. sanctions on Iran in exchange for the regime freezing some parts of its nuclear program. Tehran thus far has reportedly rejected the U.S. offer. The potential accord comes despite public U.S. assurances as recently as last month that a return to the Iran nuclear deal “hasn’t been on the agenda for months now.”
So they’re lying, but that’s a given.
What does this actually mean?
Last year, the Biden administration offered to provide Iran upfront non-statutory sanctions relief as part of a deal in exchange for a similar halt. In particular, the offer would have rescinded three executive orders sanctioning Iran’s petrochemical, automotive, construction, iron, steel, aluminum, copper, mining, manufacturing, textiles, and financial sectors, including 17 Iranian banks. Many of these sectors are tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. FDD previously estimated that rescinding these executive orders could provide Iran with sanctions-free access to at least $30 billion in annual export revenue.
So in classic negotiating posture, Iran gets billions in benefits in exchange for nothing.
Israeli officials recently told the Biden administration and several European countries that Iran would be entering dangerous territory that could trigger an Israeli military strike if it enriches uranium above the 60% level, as Axios previously reported.
So the Biden regime is bent on forcing out an Israeli government that might actually take action or at least expose what it’s doing.
“look, a squirrel” as some say.
A lot of MSM stories and such are intended to divert our attention from other things.
Biden is a Traitor and Liberal democrat and his polls continue to Tank as he drills more holes on the
bottom of his rowboat
“The Iran deal”…What deal was that again? Iran gets it’s way on everything it wants, ie. the means to act out it’s delusional Twelver goal of bathing the world, and especially Israel and America, in blood to trigger the return of the Mahdi, who will then inflict more destruction on us after crawling out of the well he has cowered in since the 13th Century. What is in all of this for us? Debt and Death. It should be called “The Devil’s Deal”.
Why should Israel be constrained by the evil deals made by a renegade, traitorous US president/political party? It obviously shouldn’t and it won’t. These fools will soon see the Hand of G-d and they will have no refuge.
Arrogance doesn’t begin to describe the attitude of the traitors running/ruining our country and plotting to facilitate Israel’s destruction, as well as our own. Evil is the only word that can.
I hear that BO is on his way to Africa to live. Things that make me go, hmmm …
The dems’ “smart diplomacy” always consists of giving our enemies, including those that scream “Death to America,” unilateral concessions for nothing in return.
Oops, I left out, while undermining our allies and holding them, and us to standards they wouldn’t dare hold our mortal enemies to.
