The Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq, a closely watched decision that comes just a month after the Tehran-backed terror group Hamas launched an attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead.
The waiver would extend the multibillion-dollar sanctions relief first issued in July that expires tomorrow. It allows Iraq to transfer frozen electricity payments into Iranian-owned bank accounts in Europe and Oman. The waiver renewal is driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues for Tehran as the country’s terrorist proxies foment chaos across the Middle East.
"The world is living in a post-Oct. 7 world, but the White House is still running an Oct. 6 policy toward Iran," Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and sanctions expert who previously served on the White House National Security Council, told the Washington Free Beacon, referring to Hamas’s attack last month. "Why should Iran have any access to more than $10 billion after sponsoring one of the worst terrorist attacks against American citizens and the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? It would make more sense to freeze all of these accounts and keep every penny out of Tehran's hands."

How much of that does Bidung expect to take as his cut for "The Big Guy"?
WTH!!! What motivates him!
Absolutely, but “Team Mitch” loves the idea. You know, war $$$$$$.
Hokay. We have just entered the Twilight Zone.
This is probably how they are bullying Israel to a cease fire or something in Gaza.
I cannot express in words here, how outrageous this is without using multiple expletives.
You would think that Biden is being blackmailed to do all this insane stuff.
Nah.....
Iran wants to kill us and biden will pay for it. Keeping America is our Government’s #1 job. At some point isn’t he committing the T word?
This is them throwing out issue to detract.
This is why the rats really want to keep Biden. He will do whatever he is told without question or regard for how it looks. I cannot think of anything more tone deaf than this but if Obongo and the committee tell him to do this he will do it.
Photos of the Biden’s cocaine released.
And the outrages just keep on coming.
The same house that approved the new FBI building.
It’s extortion no matter how they frame it…
Whear did the 10 Bil come from originally?
Well hell, that’s a cool $1 billion for the big guy.
And they impeached Trump for merely making a phone call and this guy Biden is clearly not only financing the enemy but helping the enemy enter the country.
This is the Iranian Valerie Jarret telling Obama.
Time for the republican congress to put their feet down and spring into action and spew forth a whole gaggle of angry letters
