Biden Releases Another $10 Billion to Iran
SLAY News ^ | November 15, 2023 - 8:32 am | Frank Bergman

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.

They are just using it to enrich uranium to make bombs and buy weapons.
Biden says he’s going to give Israel money, but he’s REALLY funding Israel’s destruction, AND OURS…

I was on on a thread the other day "discussing" the stupid Paul Pelosi break-in, and I outright said I didn't give a crap about what was true or false in the whole episode, what was important to me was that these people, Pelosi, Biden, et al are defaced and defamed in any and every way possible.

Part and parcel of this is that people like Pelosi, Biden, and allies (specifically the media through their outright lying) are doing everything in their power to destroy this economy and this country. They (the Democrats and the Media) have destroyed any trust IN THINKING PEOPLE by their constant lying, deception, and mal-information (not "mis-information") they present.

So if Paul Pelosi is ridiculed and defamed by spurious or unfounded allegations of cruising for homosexual liaisons in gay bars, I not only don't care about the truth, I am fully on board with defaming them in any way possible. These "conservatives" were offended at at that.

I don't feel this way just because people aligned with the Left DO THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY to those they wish to silence, although that his a large part of why I have ZERO regard for what is or isn't factual when it is applied to them. What is good for the goose is good for the gander in a lawless society, which THEY have created.

The BIGGER issue is that people like Biden, Pelosi, Obama, their administration and allies on the Left and in the Media are 100% wholly complicit in handing $10 Billion USD to people who OPENLY admit they will use it to murder us and anyone who opposes them.

If some pantywaists want to shrink at this application of any method possible to remove these people, that is their business. I am not playing that game.

Because if even a dollar of that $10 Billion USD comes back and harms Americans or our allies (as it most certainly will, and other monies given to them by us ALREADY HAVE) then those shrinking violets on "our" side who are offended by the "slanderous" attacks on the Leftists both here on FR and the country at large will have the same blood on their hands as the Leftists who enable it, and the vile scum in the Middle East who will actually DO it.

Funding America’s sworn enemies is unfortunately not unprecedented but this is outright treason imho as the Iranian dictators are threatening to destroy USA almost daily while they’re building nuclear ICBMs to do it with. Impeach !

What? This must be fake. No one could be this stupid. Now they can build their a-bomb or purchase one from Pakistan. Biden may have doomed Israel to destruction.

Wait til Iran does something really evil like shoot Donald Trump—but maybe that’s what Biden paid them for?

We’re paying them to fight us and kill Americans.

Not "we". pedojoe and his deep state (the state dept, the various alphabet agencies) are.

“ Too bad we don’t have a functioning government!”

There hasn’t been a functioning true American government this entire century.
