In a bold move of strategy, Iran attacks American troops in the hopes that Joe Biden will send more money to them. This is a very strange strategy, but one that may just work. Joe Biden has been a friend to Iran in releasing billions of dollars to their terrorist coffers. Money that they have used to fund terrorist cells who have attacked Israel, and now the American troops stationed in the Middle East.
In recent times, the Biden administration has found itself at the center of controversy over its financial diplomacy with money it has sent to Iran. This is a continuation of the Obama policies, which was that we must bribe Iran. This is in stark contrast to the Trump administration which killed terrorist leaders as a sign of strength. Now, Biden will no doubt send more money.
The roots of the Biden policy lie in the re-engagement with Iran following the Biden administration’s decision to re-enter the Obama era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. Supporters of Biden’s approach argue that releasing funds to Iran is a diplomatic move aimed at restoring trust and fostering goodwill. We all know that Iran has always been a country to show goodwill, right?
MAGA and Republican skeptics worry that the released funds might be used to finance terrorist activities that run counter to U.S. interests or support proxy groups in the region. The fear of indirect funding for destabilizing actions has fueled opposition to the decision. These critics also argue that releasing funds to Iran will undermine the leverage needed for future negotiations and compromise. Biden is not worried, however, as he states, “…..what I said is there’s folks who doesn’t have a clue about the power of Iran. It’s MAGA. But I promise you, in 2024, he’s going to find out about thepoweroffdsalidlkdieks. Not a joke.”
The controversy surrounding Biden’s financial diplomacy with Iran has wider implications for the geopolitical landscape. Not only has the Biden administration been able to get American troops killed or injured, but also places them in constant danger.
