Iran under the mullah ruling class haters is not and will not be America's friend.
America tried to "pursue peace" with Iran under Obama with the awful Iran nuclear deal and pallets of cash. Iran called the deal a victory.
Pray tell, was it a victory over regional unrest? A victory over hate? Or a victory over America?
That answer became obvious immediately. Iran responded by pushing regional aggression, treating America like an enemy, conducted terrorism in Europe, and even took American sailors hostage for a short time. Iran did not behave like a budding new friend.
The Iranians made it clear that there would be no friendship. They still do even under Biden:
Iran has made threats against Fort McNair, an Army base in the nation's capital, and against the Army’s vice chief of staff, two senior U.S. intelligence officials said.
And Iran promoted aggression and pushed their nuclear program ahead under the shield of the deal. So well that when Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal Iran could very rapidly openly take prohibited actions. Seriously, effing duh:
Iran is deliberately concealing key components of its nuclear programme from UN inspectors that can be used for producing nuclear weapons, according to the latest reports received by Western intelligence officials.
The equipment being hidden from UN inspectors includes machinery, pumps and spare parts for centrifuges, the machines used to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
In addition, materials such as carbon fibre, which can be used in the production of advanced centrifuges, are also being stored at secret sites in Iran administered by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has overall responsibility for Iran’s nuclear programme.
Intelligence officials believe the material, which is supposed to be declared to UN inspectors under the terms of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal, is being stored in 75 containers.
And unless you think Iran is behind all of the Sunni jihadi
terrorism as well as Shia unrest, it is especially odd to consider Iran
the key to regional peace. Isn't that assumption damning of Iran? Not that the authors didn't unintentionally make a good point about mullah-run Iran.
Still, shouldn't the nuclear deal have made Iran so good that Trump would never have any reason to cancel the deal and put pressure on mullah-run Iran? After all, President Obama set up a goodness school for Iran with that deal.
We sure got our wallet out. But the goodness lessons didn't take. The mullahs and their thugs don't even say "please" as Biden reaches out to them to restore the deal and the enduring abusive and possibly co-dependent love affair that was the Obama-Biden relationship with Iran.
But at least John Kerry has been tasked with surrendering to the climate and not put on the Iran mission one more time.
I don't get it. Why do those on the left have such an obsession with mullah-run Iranian friendship? But hey, at least the authors don't have an obsession with the Palestinians as the key to all regional peace.
Ignore the panty-flinging fanboys and fangirls who love mullah-run Iran. Sometimes people here are just on the other side. And sometimes the countries those fans love are just our enemy.
