Joe Biden just handed Iran $10 billion

The only reason Joe Biden put sanctions on $10 billion in Iraqi energy payments to Iran, to prevent them from accessing it, was because of the November election. Now we are learning that, once the election was over, Biden made sure that Iran got every dime of that money and now the biggest funder of terrorism in the world can now use it to rebuild their terror operations against Israel.

Here’s more via Free Beacon:

The Biden-Harris administration waived sanctions on Iran three days after the November election, providing Tehran access upward of $10 billion in once-frozen funds, according to a copy of the non-public order transmitted to Congress and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.

The Biden-Harris administration has renewed the waiver repeatedly over the objections of congressional Republicans, who warned that the cash helped fuel terrorism and Iran’s war against Israel. In one case, the administration signed off on the sanctions relief one month after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.

The most recent iteration of the waiver lifts sanctions for 120 days, at which time the incoming Trump administration will have to decide whether Tehran will continue receiving the relief.

Though the first Trump administration did green-light the same waiver—causing tension with some congressional Republicans—it narrowly tailored the waiver to restrict Iranian access to the cash. The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access.

The State Department confirmed last week that it issued the waiver.

This is exactly why Joe and Kamala lost the election to Trump. People are tired of this kind of weakness and duplicity on the world stage, especially as it pertains to Israel.

I guess Joe Biden wants to see another horrific terrorist attack against Israel, because that’s exactly what this money will be used for.
