In case there's any doubt how weak President Joe Biden is on dealing with Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported in the early morning hours of Monday that "Biden Administration Presses Allies Not to Confront Iran on Nuclear Program." Not only is the United States reportedly not going to tell Iran off for their nuclear program, but is urging our true allies to do the same. As the report mentions:
Whenever there's news about Iran and this administration, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence about the state of hiw Biden handles foreign policy. Recall how on this year's anniversary of September 11, the Biden administration announced the release of $6 billion as part of a hostage deal. Sure enough, the Wall Street Journal also reported not long after the October 7 attack that Hamas perpetrated against Israel that Hamas had backing from Iran. Then, in November, the Biden administration unfroze $10 billion by extending a waiver sanction for funds frozen in Iraq. Among the strong reactions, came from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ted Cruz, with the senator reposting a take from Levin. As conservative commentator warned, citing reports from the Mirror, Joe Biden is selling out our nation's security to Iran's nuclear program in order to get elected! This is the worst kind of treachery by ANY president in our history!" He also highlighted how Biden and his administration have send funds to Iran. "Every voice must be raised against this! Every legal, constitutional, diplomatic, and political step must be taken to stop this! Or we will wake up one day with a nuclearized Iran and the gravest of threats facing our nation's future! Biden has spent his entire career putting his own power, wealth, and interests above our country and this underscores it!," Levin's post also read in part. Last month, when Iran attacked Israel in an unprecedented move, Cruz also highlighted the amount of money that the Biden administration has provided to Iran in his podcast at the time. The WSJ also mentions the United Nations and what taking action against Iran could actually look like:
When it comes to the administration's concerns that they're "also skeptical that a formal rebuke will achieve anything," that's awfully rich coming from those who have failed to go hard on Iran in any regard. As our allies, like British and French officials point out, it ought to be "time to draw a line." And, on the point about "suggesting Western pressure on Iran was crumbling," it's worth raising that it likely already has been. This is certainly no thanks to the Biden administration, but also the Obama administration, when Biden served as vice president. The examples of the Biden administration mentioned above aren't even the most recent examples of shameful reactions. The United Nation, mentioned in the report, deserves (dis)honorable mention as well. This is not merely for how Iran has such an influential role in the agency to begin with, but for reactions to the death of Iranian President. Members of the United Nations, including the United States via Ambassador Robert Wood, stood for a moment of silence for President Ebrahim Raisi, dubbed the "butcher of Tehran." The U.S. Senate chaplain also offered a prayer for Raisi, and the condolences offered by the White House were defended by National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby. News of the Biden administration's urging, as well as how the IAEA "reports that Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, exceeding the limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal" have been trending over X.
