Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has extended a sanctions waiver in order to release another $10 billion in frozen funds for Iran.
According to the Associated Press, the four-month extension will allow the Iranian regime access to previously frozen $10 billion in electricity revenues.
The Biden admin insists that the terror-linked Islamic dictatorship will use the funds for “humanitarian aid.”
However, experts have repeatedly warned that giving Iran to access frozen funds will free up money in Tehran’s money reserves.
By freeing up Iran’s reserves, the regime will be able to continue sponsoring terrorism and developing nuclear weapons.
The sanctions waiver will authorize Iraq to continue purchasing electricity services from Iran, according to the AP.
The move will also give Tehran access to the billions in payments currently stored in the Iraqi banks.
The Biden admin argues that Iran has only spent a small amount of the existing $10 billion.
The Iranian government has reportedly agreed that the fund will only be used for humanitarian relief.
The Biden admin also freed up $6 billion in previously frozen Iranian oil revenues in September, as Slay News reported.
The unfreezing was part of a hostage negotiations deal that saw the release of five American prisoners.
Foreign policy experts have slammed the Biden admin for allowing Iran to access frozen funds as it frees up its cash reserves for other purposes.
In a Tuesday post on Twitter/X, Richard Goldberg, senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, warned that the funds will help Iran to fund terrorist attacks.
“Biden administration doubles down on giving $10 billion sanctions relief to Iran,” Goldberg said.
“Money is fungible.
“This is 100% budget support for the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”
Iran supports several terrorist groups to carry out its will, including Hamas.
Last month, Hamas killed over 1,400 civilians in attacks on Israel that began on October 7.
Iran-backed terrorists have launched 46 attacks on U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
And what kind and how many weapons did Biden agree to give Iran as a bonus??
This is insane. We’re paying them to fight us and kill Americans.
Releasing $10 B to the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the middle east is an impeachable offense. Too bad there are no checks and balances in DC.
biden and all democrats truly hate Israel and love iran
While Iranian militias are attacking American soldiers using Iranian weapons.

Meanwhile “our” new speaker of the house fully funds Joe and Nancy’s agenda. America is permanently fucked.
Biden “The Terrorists Best Friend”.
Biden’s shocking sanctions waiver——ostensibly electricity centered-—will authorize Iraq to continue purchasing electricity services from Iran, according to the AP.
The move will also give Tehran access to the billions in payments currently stored in Iraqi banks.
The “compassionate” Biden admin argues that Iran has only spent a small amount of the existing $10 billion.
To get their hands on the billions, The Iranian government assured the gullible Biden that the fund will only be used for “humanitarian relief.”
The Biden admin freed up $6 billion in previously frozen Iranian oil revenues in September, as Slay News reported.
Jo Jo and da Ho have to keep their wars going until after the next RAT election.
Proving, once again, that these people do. not. care. what you think. They will do whatever they want.
The kind of plan that works miracles every time!
What could possibly go wrong?
Our political betters are light years ahead of everyone else and have everyones best interest in mind.
We are in good hands!
The result of fair and honest elections.
More goverment is the answer, and many more taxes.
Slash effing S.
Our own Country is fighting against us!
Whose side is that POS on?
Insanity. Nothing is right here. How can Biden give Iran 10 billion while taxing us for 10 billion to give Israel to fight Iran’s proxy Hamas?
Descent into evil is what is happening. USA financing an Islamist terrorist war and Israel’s just defence.
Proof positive that Biden's lost his mind.
