Biden’s handlers’ relentless determination to appease the Islamic Republic has ended up lavishly financing the global jihad.
“Cash Bonanza: Iran Has Made $44.7 Billion in Illegal Oil Sales Since Biden Took Office,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 2, 2022:
Iran’s illegal oil trade has boomed under the Biden administration, with the hardline regime selling more than $44 billion worth of its heavily sanctioned oil to malign regimes like China, Syria, and Venezuela, according to figures published by a watchdog group.
From January 2021, when President Joe Biden took office, to June 2022, Iran sold around $44.7 billion in oil primarily to China. The regime’s export revenues between March 2021 and March 2022 from oil, gas, and related products “totaled $39 billion, compared [with] $22 billion for the previous year—a rise of 77 percent and an extra $17 billion,” according to United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that tracks Iran’s network of illegal oil tankers.
“This drastic increase in revenue is not surprising when you look at the increase in oil exports that have occurred under the Biden administration,” UANI chief of staff Claire Jungman told the Washington Free Beacon. “This is the result of terminally lax sanctions enforcement.”
In addition to looser sanctions on Iran, the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to enforcement as it seeks to ink a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear deal. These moves are meant to appease Iran and cajole it into signing a deal that will remove virtually all sanctions on the hardline regime, including its oil trade. China is the primary beneficiary of this policy, with Iranian oil imports quadrupling to the country in 2021 to $23.1 billion. The China-Iran oil pipeline is on pace to hit around $27 billion in 2022, according to UANI’s figures.
If sanctions on Iran are lifted as part of a new nuclear deal, Iran-China trade could reach around $60 billion per year, according to one former U.S. official.
“China made a mockery of the credibility of our sanctions programs and emboldened rogue actors across the world to follow suit,” Gabriel Noronha, a State Department special adviser for Iran during the Trump administration, told the Free Beacon.
Iran’s foreign currency reserves— which were nearly drained under the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign—will have “increased nearly tenfold by the end of this year,” according to Noronha.
“The United States refused to enforce its sanctions even while Iran was continuing to advance its nuclear program and its regional terror attacks,” Noronha said. “The result was that Iran’s economy revived itself.”
This financial relief gave Iran a cushion and lessened pressure that could have forced it into accepting a more stringent nuclear deal.
“The Iranian leadership does not feel pressure to finalize the nuclear deal because they’ve already enjoyed the benefits of effective sanctions relief,” Noronha said. “The fact that the Biden administration can’t even manage a return to the notoriously weak [nuclear deal] is evidence of the sheer diplomatic malpractice carried out by the Biden administration, particularly Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. envoy for Iran Rob Malley.”
As Iran and China boost their oil alliance, the U.S. emergency crude stockpiles dropped to their lowest levels in 37 years. This comes after the Biden administration agreed to sell China several million barrels from the U.S. stores, sparking a congressional investigation….

Here is a fun new extender that I discovered to cover emojis – as in putting a strikethrough through them. To be on topic for this story, I’ll use the Iran flag emoji as an example
??
Then I go to this page, scroll down to “The anti Emoji” and click on the first of the boxes that says “Copied, now paste it after some emoji”
I then paste it after the Iran emoji, and viola! Here it is

Same thing can be done to other emojis. Yeah, the site has an advisory that the latest iOS has sabotaged it, but most other places, it works. Here I’ll try it on some other emojis

When the cat (Pres. Trump) is away, the mouse (Iran’s mullahocracy) will play.
No one is afraid of senile, bumbling, crumbling, fumbling senile Joe-mentia.

Well, his son has made illegal millions; can’t play favorites, now can he? Must spread the ill-gotten gains around to all the enemies of what is good, fair, honest, right….
iran, china, al q, taliban, …all of his friends and coworkers in the plot to rot humankind must get their unfair share.

Thanks for the link
Terrible to read the suicidal-madness going on.
What a sleepy US government employee who transferred the technology was.
He probably would have fallen asleep in front of the firing squad too.
I don’t believe the part wherein they said that they couldn’t find any US investor.

I agree with your comment in total.
James Lincoln says
Biden’s handlers are actively working against the interests off the United States.
Yes -TREASON!
One knows this – or should know this.
Wellington says
Seconded, James, though I would add Biden himself—his wife—his son, Hunter, the dirt bag of dirt bags, et al.
Nothing good ever comes out of the Biden family, even when truth is spoken by a daughter taking showers with her father.
I simply don’t think most people, including many conservatives, understand what a horrible, corrupt and dysfunctional family the Biden family is. And thanks to the FBI for covering a lot of this up—oh yeah.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% agree – to the extent that Sleepy Joe actually knows what’s going on.
That being said, his family certainly does.
And the FBI is actually aiding and abetting this criminal activity…
john smith says
Agreed James and Welling,
The Biden’s are a family of the most disgusting low life’s you could possibly find. A few years ago Joe’s brother was in a car (full of drunks I believe) when they knocked down and killed a pedestrian, Biden,s brother was heard telling the driver to “drive on”.
On another occasion Joe’s niece run up a bill of $100, 000 on a stolen credit card, such behaviour is obviously in her genes. Not to mention his pathetic drug addict son Hunter, with his endless stream of crimes. Now we have all seen the way old Joe himself, inappropriately touches little girls, so this latest revelation about him taking showers with his daughter comes as no surprise.
What a family of perverts, drug addicts, thieves and crook’s they are.

Enabling evil is never a wise thing.

Joe Biden is a despicable treacherous treacherous villain who is constantly supporting and funding that hostile vicious Islamic regime of Iran which hates America and the American people.
Furthermore ,as an American citizen and a senior citizen, I completely refuse to recognize the fraudulent artificial “Presidency” of Joe Biden. There is no such thing as “President Biden “For that corrupt unethical, cheating vote stealing “President “pretender Biden is not a, real, genuine Chief Executive of the United States.
To put this in another way, this is the first time in the history of the United States that this country has no President. Instead, this nation has only a criminally installed figurehead.

“…this is the first time in the history of the United States that this country has no President. Instead, this nation has only a criminally installed figurehead.”
True.
Walter Sieruk says
That treasonous treacherous villain, “president” pretender Biden has cause and will continue cause tremendous harm.
