Iran, the nation that Barack Obama supposedly tamed, is now paying Hezbollah a total of $830 million each year.
The payment represents a $200 million hike.
And it comes just two years after Obama pressed forward a nuclear treaty deal with Tehran that was supposed to signal a new and more trustworthy relationship with the rogue nation.

Of course, only the far left believed that line. Everyone else, from Israel to level-headed thinking Americans, knew Iran was only play-acting at conceding, and would use all means possible to continue its quest for nuclear weapons.
Now, Iran’s actually upping its financial support of the known terror group, Hezbollah.
The Jerusalem Post has the story:
Hezbollah, one of the most prominent terrorist organizations in the world, has become bogged down fighting in Syria for Bashar Assad. Of its approximately 22,000 fighters, about 7,000 are fighting for the Assad regime, and some 2,000 have been killed in the four years the group has spent in Syria.
The US and European countries lifted sanctions against Iran in January 2016, releasing roughly $100 billion in assets after international inspectors found that Iran had dismantled large parts of its nuclear program. According to US media, officials say President Donald Trump is ready to extend those waivers that were issued under the Obama administration.
According to IDF assessments, while Hezbollah has increased its military capabilities due to its fighting in Syria, the group has spread its troops across the entire Middle East and is hurting financially.
The finances of the Lebanese Shi’ite group, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by dozens of countries around the globe, also has been hit hard due to years of sanctions by the United States.
In June, a US congressional committee met to discuss enhancing sanctions targeting Hezbollah met with four security experts for advice on additional legal actions against the group’s financial network.
According to the committee, the 2015 Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act (HIPA), which threatens sanctions against anyone who finances the group in any significant way, was a good start but needs enhancing because Hezbollah continues to remain a significant threat to Israel.
Iran also is reported to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars for its militias in Syria and Iraq, as well as supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen who are fighting pro-government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition.
Although HIPA placed major restrictions and other measures of the Lebanese banking sector, lawmakers in Washington believe it needs to be widened to cripple the group, which is involved in fighting in those countries.
Tehran, which froze its financial support to Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the group refused to support the Assad regime in 2012, is now reported to be providing the Gazan terrorist group some $60m.-70m.
In August, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said ties have been restored and that Iran is “the largest backer financially and militarily” to Hamas’s military wing.
Meanwhile, the IDF on Thursday afternoon announced the end of the large-scale Or Hadagan military drill in northern Israel. The exercise, with tens of thousands of soldiers from all branches of the army simulating a war with Hezbollah, was the largest IDF drill in almost 20 years.
“The objective of the exercise was to improve the Northern Command, the Northern Corps and the ability of its divisions to fight the multi-branch operational system in the Northern Command, with an emphasis on the Lebanese front,” the Spokespersons Unit said.
During the drill, large numbers of aerial, naval and land vehicles and equipment were used and troops were trained in joint exercises. Both defense and offensive capabilities, as well as fire power, intelligence and simultaneous military maneuvers were practiced in several sectors of the northern front.
The Home Front Command also practiced implementation of the plan to evacuate residents of communities that sit on the border with Lebanon.
Although the primary threat posed by Hezbollah remains its missile arsenal, which has been rebuilt with the help of Iran since the 2006 Second Lebanon War, the IDF believes the next war will see the group try to bring the fight to the home front by infiltrating Israeli communities to inflict significant civilian and military casualties.

As long as their is oil dependence, probably never. As much as I prefer fossil fuels, going alternative fuel sources would stop many of these countries from having the funds to support terror and pay their own people to not revolt against them.

America has enough coal, shale, natural gas, and oil reserves to last us a century plus.
Not to mention nuclear power.

And with all that we have, we still have not achieved Energy Independence, and rely heavily on our enemies and fund their goals of jihad against us.
We need a global energy independence, Tesla had it right, and if we allowed his research to continue we could have had electric cars 50+ years sooner, and our dependence on Fossil Fuels all but eliminated.

Very unlikely there will be a practical electric car for at least 100 years. Technology in the field of battery development to make electric cars a realistic option to hydrocarbon fuelled ones, is treading water.

Stepping stones that could have gotten us energy independent by now. It is Industry that often fights change for their own profits, and leaves us the little people to deal with the Islamic fall out.
There is no such thing as a US, UK, FR, etc… Corporation anymore, all major corporations are global, and all globalists support the status quo unless it benefits them to change it.

Occidental Petroleum invested a lot of R&D dollars into converting oil shale into petroleum, but it was never cost effective. It would’ve taken direct government action to mandate the use of oil shale reserves in the production of oil and big oil, OPEC and corrupt US politicians never would’ve allowed it.

Agree. Its the Dems/RINO’s who allowed Iran to get away with the nuke deal plus $150 Billion.
America was lucky Trump won any other politicians on either side would have sold out to lobbyists including saudi/qatar and their islamisation agenda going on for more than 26 years now.

obola most certainly did state he was a muslim, on a national tv broadcast in 2009, when he uttered “my muslim faith” and corrected it when the registered-democrat moderator asked him if he meant his Christian faith. i don’t know of any christian in 1400 years who ever slipped and called themself a muslim

That was not well publicized, or, the American public was willing to accept a muslim at the time. Actually I never heard about that until recently.

There is a major problem with the Republicans, they are too entitled and complacent. For a while I thought President Trump was going to kick the trash to the curb, sweep the residual corruption out to the degree possible. Now, it looks, like his government is not really different than the Jamahiriya of the democrats.

Trump is not an ideologue, not in the sense of Republican or Democrat anyways of which he has been both, but he is a Trumpist, and will do what is best for him.
Drain The Swamp was a talking point, he did not even expect it to be as popular as it was, same with Build The Wall, and Mexico Will Pay For The Wall. He is a good carnival barker or snake oil salesman.
Sad when he was still the better option for President out of any others in the field, it shows how far America has failed.
Canada and the EU are in the same boat, voting people who have no business being in office as their leaders.

all islamic countries are stretching their financial commitments to jihad far beyond breaking. The qur’an demands that a certain percentage of taxes be used for jihad, as mutgonad, police beat upon him, was a psychopath, not an economist, the results are predictable.

Wondering where Iran got that kind of money to be tossing around? Remember that pallet piled high with cash that failed US president Obhammud had flown into Tehran in the dead of night, lying to the world about it not being ransom for our imprisoned citizens?

Obama illegally and treasonously bankrolled billions in unknown, unmarked foreign currencies, as well as tons of physical gold to the fanatical jihad exporting & nuclear weapons crazed Tehran régime. Iran and their Shi’ite terrorist proxies Hezballah, with Moscow’s support, now infests sections of Assad’s southern Syria. Iranian terrorist forces in Syria represents an extremely dangerous military threat to Israel. When the Iranians & their jihadist cohorts attempt war against Israel, America may very well be seriously preoccupied with another nuclear weapons direct threat, Stalinist North Korea, which Iran’s controlling Shia Muslim tyrants have been assisting.

Seems to me, that this was Obama’s intent, under the guides of kerry and clinton, to fund hezbollah, as part of the infamous Iran nuke deal. Then again, it is beginning to appear that Trump is becoming a party to this iran nuke deal….
