Biden’s complicity in the attack on Iran from beginning to end.
On Saturday night, Iran launched its attack, codenamed “Ya Rasool Allah” or “Messenger of Allah,” on the Jewish State, after Israel had taken out the Iranian mastermind of Oct 7.
The attack began with waves of drones to swamp Israel’s air defenses, followed by cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. While the British and the French took out some drones, U.S. forces accounted for about half the total of drones and some of the ballistic missiles, leaving the rest for the Israelis to deal with. By the time it was over, 99% of the attack had been intercepted.
The only serious injury in the “Messenger of Allah” bombardment was to a 7-year-old Muslim Bedouin girl.
But why was Iran able to launch so many missiles at all, how did everyone know when the attack would happen, and why is Biden warning Israel not to respond to the Iranian attack?
Last month, the Biden administration provided a $10 billion sanctions waiver for Iran. The administration warned Iran that it would impose sanctions on its missile program if it sent them to Russia. There was no mention of the real focus of those sanctions which was concern that Iran would provide those weapons to proxy terror groups like Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite militias and the Houthis, now using those weapons to attack civilian container ships and US Navy vessels.
Iran should never have had that weapons technology in the first place. In 2006, the Bush administration had convinced the UN Security Council to sanction Iran’s missile program “to prevent the supply, sale or transfer …of all items, materials, equipment, goods and technology which could contribute to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.”
Part of Obama’s Iran Deal allowed those sanctions to expire on October 18, 2023. Two weeks after the Oct 7 attacks on Israel which killed over 1,000 people, the Biden administration let the UN sanctions lapse, making it easier for Iran to buy, export and boost its development of weapons technology. The administration tried to substitute a limited sanctions program of its own for the original sanctions while continuing to allow Iran to access billions in sanctions relief.
Where the Trump administration had snapped back sanctions for Iran’s violations, Biden lifted them a month after taking office. Sen. Ted Cruz has estimated that the Biden administration allowed around $100 billion to flow to Iran since 2021. That $10 billion was just the latest of it.
Despite the open violations of the Iran Deal, Biden allowed Iran to benefit from an agreement it was actively violating every single day even as it was attacking American soldiers and Israel.
When Biden allowed Iran that latest $10 billion in sanctions relief, not only were US Navy personnel actively in combat with Iran’s Houthi terrorists, but two Navy SEALS had died in an operation to intercept Iranian weapons being smuggled from Somalia to the Houthis in Yemen. In Jordan, an attack by Iran’s Shiite militias operating out of Iraq had killed three American service members. While Biden appeared willing to let Iran get away with it, Israel was not.
As General Mohammad Zahedi and other figures from Iran’s IRGC international terror network were meeting in a building near Iran’s terror facility in Damascus, they were taken out. After his death, Iranian sources named Zahedi as the mastermind of the Oct 7 attacks.
What followed were a series of back-channel communications between the Biden administration and Iran through various third parties. The goal of these negotiations was to persuade Iran not to “escalate” the conflict by limiting its attack to what a Reuters report described as “within certain limits.” The timing of the attack was so widely known that media reports correctly repeated warnings that Iran would strike within 36 hours. Hours before the attack began, not only Iran’s allies, but also other countries in the region, were already prepared for it to begin.
Instead of making clear to Iran that an attack was unacceptable, the Biden administration was pre-arranging the terms of the attack on one of its allies while warning it not to respond.
When Iran launched the attack, it had been coordinated with Biden officials. Had it really wanted to launch a damaging assault, it would have changed the timing of the attack. Instead it not only launched the attack on time, but it did so while communicating with D.C. through backchannels before and after the attack. A Biden administration official stated that there were “direct communications through the Swiss channel” including to tell the Biden administration when the attack was winding down.
That is not how attacks normally work, but this was not a normal attack, nor is it the actual one.
Iran launched the attack to demonstrate its capabilities. For the first time it showed that it could coordinate missile and drone launches from all of its clients across the region. The launches took place not only from Iran, but from the Houthis in Yemen, Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The attacks allowed Iran to test a coordinated assault across four countries, to test how Israeli and American air defenses would respond to being swarmed, and to score a propaganda victory with images of its drones over Jerusalem and that part of the Temple Mount where Muslim invaders had built their Al Aqsa mosque. What it was not meant to do was be devastating.
Iran would have rejoiced if it had hammered Israeli air bases and cities, but barring critical errors by Israel and America, it wasn’t expecting more than an expensive light show and a little rubble.
Compare the Iranian attack on Israel with the finely coordinated attack on Tower 22, the U.S. base on the Jordanian-Iranian border, where the Iraqi Shiite terror proxies had perfectly timed the attack to coincide with a moment of confusion caused by the return of a U.S. drone, or the Oct 7 attack which set out to analyze and dismantle Israel’s border defense network, timing drone attacks to disable automated defenses, with this straightforward telegraphed attack.
If Iran remains true to form, the actual attack will come from its proxies, will exploit vulnerabilities in Israeli defenses and will allow the regime to maintain plausible deniability as it did on Oct 7.
What happened on Saturday night was not the actual attack, but a feint with the added purpose of convincing the Biden administration that its diplomatic approach can work. Beginning with the Iran Deal, the Islamic terror state has played a complicated game, welcoming diplomacy and then abruptly rejecting it, holding out hope and then taking it away, but only doing it long enough to keep up the chase. This time around, Tehran convinced Biden that its Islamic leadership, despite their cries of, “Death to America” are rational actors who want to manage the conflict.
In the two years before Oct 7, Hamas convinced the Biden administration and the Israelis that it could be dealt with before launching a devastating assault, so too Iran, like other Islamic terrorist entities, specializes in luring America into a state of complacency before an attack.
And so the Biden administration is warning Israel not to respond. After all these years it believes that Iran can be dealt with and that it successfully negotiated an end to the crisis. It allowed Iran to launch its attack on Israel, helped intercept it and foolishly believes that Tehran is now satisfied because all its leaders ever wanted, like Biden, was a show, not the real thing.
Biden thinks that when Iran’s elites chant, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” it’s as empty a slogan as all of his campaign promises. But, unlike Biden, Iran’s leaders keep their promises. The slogans are serious. They intend to destroy America and they intend to destroy Israel.
American soldiers continue dying at the hands of Iran and its terror proxies while D.C. diplomats conduct empty negotiations and Iran’s agents penetrate their way into our government.
After September 11, Biden suggested, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.” Since then billions of dollars have made their way to Iran. The Islamic terror state has killed and kidnapped Americans, it is encircling America’s allies in the region, including Israel and Saudi Arabia, and still the ‘no strings’ checks keep coming from D.C..

How much more can we stand….those of us who care about honesty, integrity, righteous works?
Every day, more of the evil is exposed, and every day, more pretense from those committing the evil as if the rest of us are at fault.
It’s as if they believe they are playing some kind of game and are laughing their demonic heads off.
So much evil is being sown. Cries go up for relief from this satanic, demonic, evil which is surrounding us all.

One of the reasons that Joe Biden has policies that great favors that aggressive Islamic tyranny of Iran and grants those in power in that hostile regime everything that they demand, including the funds and materials to construct and manufacture nuclear weapons and sent supplies of deadly weapons to those murderous jihad entities Hamas and Hezbollah.
This treachery against both America and Israel is because is because Biden actually “owes” much to that Iranian “mullah regime. “of those Muslim tyrants of Iran had actually meddled and interfered in the American presidential election by supporting the Biden bid for the Oval Office during the election year of 2020. So Biden “owe” much to that anti-America regime of Iran. Likewise, the heads of Iran have much more information about how they helped Biden obtain Office and naturally election cheating Joe Biden wouldn’t want Iran to make know all that information to the world . So of course, he gives that Islamic tyranny everything that Rasis demands
So now in the year 2022 that that “mullah regime” with their stooge and useful idiot to archive they want to obtain on their Islamic agenda.
One of the many reliable sources that will confirm this is the video documentary TRUMP CARD by Dinesh D’ Souza.
Wellington says
It’s worse than Biden just effing up everything. He’s a traitor at least by way of his actions. Perhaps in intent as well but even if not by intent his wretched actions are more than enough to accurately characterize him as a traitor to America because ignorance of wrongdoing is no excuse—not in the law, not in the court of public opinion, not in the court of common sense and not by any decent ethical measure.

Agreed. Biden’s handlers are as despicable as he is but he’s still the guy, a la Disraeli, at the top of the greasy pole.

All of these was known for many many years maybe not publicly for Americans, but there are many sources that everything can be checked out
Education is power
But education is not coming from the main stream media or social media
Stop watching media and social media for one month they will all be going bankrupt
But there are doubts that everyone will do this
Sadly, so this will go on like it always has because Americans are misled and do not check what is going on
Millions of people in America read the New York Times or watching CNN MSNBC
And all those liars who are paid by Iran
When will America wake up the American people have the power to do it, but they do not even show their faces on the streets they let all of these Arabs taking over their universities. There’s treats the values.
And complain on chats on social media, or at home in the comfortable living room
Sorry to say that, but it is true
Robert Koenig says
Retaliation for what? Taking out a Muslim sworn murderer, rapist, liar and thief like Mohammed? Nice job Israel.

For Biden, read OBAMA, still the power in America, with more easy puppet on way, Harris or even Mrs OBAMA as President, figurehead only, HUSSEIN the REAL President. And the Agreement with Iran was his, which he did not get Iran to sigh nor get passed by the Senate. Why not,?, to both questions. And not even an American, Kenyan born.
Westman says
I don’t usually agree with John Bolton who seems to have been too trigger-happy in the past but he is quite right that Trump should have launched a massive strike upon Iran’s assets in Jan 2020 when it struck a US base with missiles.
There was no Russian-Ukraine war or the Hamas 10/7 attack in 2020 to distract the effort.
Now, 4+ years later, after more appeasement and money, Iran’s capabilities have increased and it felt confident that the US had foolishly spent its resources in a losing Ukraine war and was too weak to respond to Iran and a battle-hardened Russia – a Russia now on a dynamic war footing with a steady flow of new weapons.
Iran was right, the US wimped out with a valid unrevealed-to-the-public reason of not having the resources and its justified fear of unpopularity in the upcoming election.
Bolton’s criticism is valid. Every time Iran gets away with its beligerance, the cost to tame it increases.
Russia has proven that it’s not a gas station masquerading as a strong nation. Maybe, unfortunately, Israel will have no choice but to become independent of the US.

“House resolution condemning ‘From the River to the Sea’ chant as antisemitic passes with 44 opposed”
“The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning a pro-Palestinian activist chant as antisemitic on Tuesday – but 43 Democrats and one Republican voted against it.
A House GOP-led resolution introduced by Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., to formally criticize the use of the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” passed in a 377 to 44 vote.”
The usual culprits voted against it….
“Progressive “Squad” Democrats were among those to vote against it, including Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.; Cori Bush, D-Mo., as well as House Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against the measure as well. Fox News Digital reached out to his office for comment.
The bill is part of a list of 17 measures House Republican leaders are putting up for a vote this week aimed at affirming support for Israel and condemning Iran after the latter launched a barrage of airstrikes over the weekend.”

There is just way too much foreign money floating around Washington D.C. These muslim/islamic countries are and have bought political favor through business deals and down right bribes of our politicians.
Just honestly ask yourself how do these politicians/public servants go from average income to multi million aires in four years of Government service?
Something STINKS in WashingtonD.C.
