We are talking about Iran v. Joe Biden, aren't we?
For the first time in decades, there is no nation that can restrain Israel from destroying Iran’s pawn Hamas — not after it butchered 1,400 Jewish citizens while radical Palestinians in Gaza keep celebrating the slaughter and promising more such savage mass murdering.
Victor Davis Hanson "Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high.
For the first time in decades, there is no nation that can restrain Israel from destroying Iran’s pawn Hamas — not after it butchered 1,400 Jewish citizens while radical Palestinians in Gaza keep celebrating the slaughter and promising more such savage mass murdering.
It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb — and might use it soon.
The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China.
Iran boasts of now being the self-proclaimed leader of jihad on behalf of all Muslims. It gloats that it is feeding the Russian war-machine by exporting its own drones.
Tehran proudly supplied and funded Hamas’s savage murdering of Jewish children in Israel.
It eggs on its other pawn Hezbollah to launch a reputed 100,000-Iranian-supplied missiles into Israel.
It constantly provokes the U.S. — mostly by veiled threats to unleash anti-American terrorists in the Middle East and perhaps inside America itself.
But above all, Iran is giddy over the appeasing Biden administration.
Biden resurrected the unhinged Obama administration plan of empowering a “Shiite crescent” — of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah, including Hamas.
This American idea of a radical bloc would supposedly birth “creative tension” and thus on autopilot balance the dominance of our friends in Israel and the Gulf regimes with our new Iranian clients. Yet the logical result of such madness was the massacre we saw in Israel.
Biden put pro-Iranian envoy Robert Malley — now under FBI investigation — in charge of begging Iran to restart the disastrous Iran Deal.
The anemic Biden administration has reportedly replied only four times to some 83 Iranian attacks on Americans.
Biden lifted sanctions allowing Iran to garner tens of billions of dollars in new oil sales — to be routed to all of Israel’s terrorist enemies.
He sought to pay ransom to Iran to get back five American hostages — at a cost of $1.2 billion per captive and a green-light for Tehran to take more.
The Biden administration restored in aggregate $1 billion in aid to the West Bank and Gaza, despite the long history of radical Palestinian terrorism.
This mollification of Iran also led its appendages Hamas and Hezbollah to believe that if any of them started a war against Israel, then Iran would guarantee their victory, the U.S. would do nothing — and likely force Israel to do the same nothing.
Yet a delusional Iran still is not fully aware how its loud bragging about and support for its client Hamas’s barbaric killing of Jewish civilians have put it into an unprecedented dangerous predicament." . . .
