Khamenei, You Have a Friend

 Watching America/ Published in Yisra’el Hayom

All this leads us to an unpleasant conclusion. The Biden administration is allied with Iran in everything related to its nuclear program. No agreement will prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and the Biden administration will not impose any sanctions. On the contrary, the administration is working to defend Iran from all its opponents, as it did by removing the Houthis from the list of terrorist organizations and imposed sanctions on Egypt last week.

. . ."When Biden appointed Malley to manage the U.S. return to the nuclear agreement, there were those who claimed he did this to pacify the progressive left in the Democratic Party while he remained moderate. This claim does not square with the historical record.

"Since 1979, as a senator, then as vice president and today as president, Biden was and remains one of the clear supporters of the ayatollahs’ regime in Washington. During the American hostage crisis at the embassy in Tehran in 1979, Biden opposed any aggressive operation to free the hostages. His reaction to the 9/11 attacks was to call on the Bush administration to give $200 million to the regime in Tehran as a goodwill gesture.

"Biden was the architect of the American withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, something that, in fact, transferred control of the country to Iran. As vice president, he was an ardent supporter of the nuclear agreement, which paved Iran’s path to nuclear weapons by means of canceling sanctions imposed on the country, etc.

"When Prime Minister Naftali Bennett refused to meet with Malley during his visit to Israel, Biden reacted angrily and may have used the moment to break contact with Bennett for a number of months. Two weeks ago, three members of the American negotiations team resigned. The three, including Malley’s deputy, Richard Nephew, rejected Malley’s placatory approach with Iran and asserted that, in light of Iran’s nuclear advancement, the 2015 agreement was no longer relevant. According to The Wall Street Journal, the disagreement between Malley and Nephew reached Biden, who supported Malley’s position.". . .
