As America under Biden begins to grovel before Iran, the Islamic regime is emboldened. Last week, after consultations with Biden, South Korea released seven billion dollars in frozen assets to Iran, which will be used to further Iran’s global adventurism, and that of its proxies.
It is telling that even though the last nuclear deal poured over 100 billion dollars into Iran’s coffers, Iran won’t budge until Biden lifts sanctions immediately. He is viewed by Iran to be weak — a pushover. And with Biden’s open-door immigration policy, America is exposed to serious national security risks.
Iran has also been expanding its presence (along with that of its proxy Hizbollah) in Venezuela, and the latter is courting Mexico with its Iranian-supplied oil, trying to take advantage of Texas shortages. This is more bad news for American interests, since the flood of illegal economic migrants from Mexico into the U.S. presents a golden opportunity to Hizballah.
“US still open to Iran nuclear talks after Iran’s rejection,” Associated Press, February 28, 2021:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Sunday it remains open to talks with Iran over the 2015 nuclear deal despite Tehran’s rejection of an EU invitation to join a meeting with the U.S. and the other original participants in the agreement.
A senior administration official said the U.S. was “disappointed” in the rejection but was flexible as to the timing and format of the talks and saw Iran’s decision to snub the European invitation as part of the diplomatic process. The official said the U.S. would be consulting with the other participants — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union — on the way forward.
The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Earlier Sunday, Iran turned down the offer for talks saying the “time isn’t ripe” for the meeting, at which the U.S. would have participated as an observer. Iran had been insisting that the U.S. lift or ease sanctions imposed on it by the Trump administration under its “maximum pressure campaign” before sitting down with the United States.
President Joe Biden has said repeatedly that the U.S. would return to the deal that his predecessor, Donald Trump, withdrew from in 2018 only after Iran restores its full compliance with the accord.
“Considering US/E3 positions & actions, time isn’t ripe for the proposed informal meeting,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Twitter. He referred to the so-called E3, which comprises Britain, France and Germany.
“Remember: Trump failed to meet because of his ill-advised ‘Max Failure,’” he said. “With sanctions in place, same still applies. Censuring is NOT diplomacy. It doesn’t work with Iran.”
The Biden administration announced earlier this month that it would accept an EU invitation to participate in a meeting of deal participants and at the same time rescinded a Trump determination from the U.N. Security Council that Iran was in significant breach of the agreement that all U.N. sanctions had been restored.
The U.N. move had little practical effect as nearly all members of the world body had rejected Trump’s determination because the U.S. was no longer a participant in the nuclear deal. Biden administration officials said the withdrawal of the determination was intended to show goodwill toward its partners and at the same time had eased severe restrictions on the movement of Iranian diplomats posted to the U.N…..

Joe Biden is so very incompetent that it’s highly unlikely that even could even run a laundromat . How much less is he able to be a competent Chief Executive of the USA. ?
That Bogus President Biden is a catastrophe and calamity for America, a disaster, and a tragedy for the American people as well as a catastrophe for other western nations and a curse upon Israel but a blessing for that aggressive hostile brutal and oppressive Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
Furthermore, that despicable Biden /Harris team is the epitome of the personification and embodiment of the Red/Green Alliance, with all its evil and madness.

I would have never expected the Biden administration to be “A curse upon Israel” . You may be right though , I was so naive to thing that Kamala’s jewish husband may influence her into getting Biden to keep good ties with Israel . We saw how that worked out , Biden contacted the jewish state , contrary to all his predecessors , a whole month after taking office .
Mount Zion says
With this new administration America has definitely lost his authority on the world stage and Iran is taking full advantage of it toying with the Us as it pleases . Once a powerful and strong nation , respected and revered all over the world , now they look week and malliable . You’ve gotta ask yourself who is going to take care of all these belligerant countries flexing their muscles and certainly not friendly towards the US . I agree that America has not always done the right thing ,no empire ever has,
I still rather had the US as the leading world nation than regimes like Russia , China or Iran itself.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course those Muslim tyrant refused talks with Joe Biden. For Biden is so feeble -minded that Iran rulers might feel ,in their Islamic pride, that it’s below their dignity to have “talks” old Joe. After all, as already said before,Biden is so incompetent that it’s highly unlikely that he could even run a laundromat, much less be able to engage in an intelligent negotiation about anything.

Biden is a joke, a professional politician of almost fifty years who has accomplished nothing of importance and has gotten one major issue wrong after another (e.g., criminal justice reform in the mid-1990s which, unlike Trump’s criminal justice reform, actually hurt black Americans terribly), and he is surrounded by foolish and malevolent clowns who are telling him what to do and say. I think this serves as an accurate summary of the fraudulent Biden Administration.
Expecting nothing from Biden is the best that can occur. I’d settle for this. Unfortunately, it’s going to be worse than nothing (already is) and so the descent will continue. At this point, still can’t see the bottom.
And just as I consider myself justifiably angry with adult Muslims who willingly embrace Islam, so do I consider myself justifiably angry with all the fools who ACTUALLY voted for Biden for President. Shame on both. Deep shame.
Daniel Triplett says
I thought I’d never see a president worse than Obama in my lifetime. Biden is aggressively competing for the trophy. He does all the pro-Islam stuff Caliph Obama did, plus a whole lot more. Every single decision he’s made so far, and all he dreams of, is wildly dangerous and destructive to America.

Spot-on, Daniel.
The race to the bottom…

Absolutely, gravenimage.

Biden is an illegitimate president installed by the supreme court. The court did this to avoid democrat cities going on a burn loot murder rampage. The supreme court in an effort to avoid that allowed several US states to crap on the most precious birth right of people in other states and over half the country, the right for our vote to count in fair elections. I will no longer engage in any public service of any kind, if called to sit on a jury I will not find anyone guilty of any charges brought by the state or feds. I support equal justice and since the court only cares about partial justice I am done. Let it be no justice.
Bidens democrats want to drone bomb us, round up any objectors to equal justice. They want to treat us like the Afghan taliban but it is them that are more closely related to the taliban where justice is what they say it is at any given time. The court feared that democrats would riot and tear the country apart but with those non rulings they have laid the foundation for tearing the country apart. A broken and corrupt country has no standing in world affairs. The three branches of government gave the ok to Iran getting the bomb. They knew this would be the result.
The court ruled that the CCP establishment won and since that ruling effectively made America a CCP puppet let China deal with Iran.Good luck with that lying cheating stealing establishment. I know this route will hurt Americans that don’t deserve it. I know that this route will hurt the rest of the world but don’t point your finger at people like me point that finger at those who have brought us to this point. Anyone who wants to continue down this broken road deserves exactly what they get.

Biden administration still ‘flexible’ and ‘open’ to nuclear deal with Iran, even after Iran’s rejection
………………
More craven appeasement–no wonder the Mullahs are so emboldened.
