When the GREAT former President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed maximum pressure sanctions on Iran, their funding for overseas adventures dried up.
Former Director of National Intelligence John Radcliffe explains:
"Throughout 2020, Iranian military and intelligence leaders were telling us, as we listened into their conversations, 'We're broke. We can't afford to fund Hamas. We can't afford to pay Hezbollah. We cannot afford to pay our proxies to engage in this mayhem.'
"All of that intelligence was shared with the Biden administration. As they came in, they were very much aware of that.
"And unfortunately, it's a disturbing trend that we've seen over and over again, they simply ignored the intelligence...it's not hyperbolic to say we're on the road to a war in the Middle East."
Richard Goldberg, the director for countering Iranian weapons of mass destruction for the White House National Security Council under Trump, notes that Iran's oil exports to China went from 300,000 barrels a day in 2020 to nearly 1.6 million barrels a day today because Joe Biden made a strategic decision to not enforce the Trump-era sanctions.
That has given Iran $35 billion a year extra revenue, in addition to the $6 billion ransom money paid on the anniversary of the Sep.11 attacks and another $10 billion released by the U.S. from Iraqi banks this past summer.
So buckle up for WWIII as our feckless president is doing virtually nothing at all to stop the 75+ Iranian proxy attacks on American installations in Iraq and Syria. Iran and it's terrorist proxies, empowered to start WWIII with the help of obama's and biden's funding.
