The Biden Administration will continue to appease the Islamic Republic of Iran in the weeks and months ahead. They want to re-enter the JCPOA so badly that they will eliminate all of the leverage we had to stop Iran from going nuclear. It’s insanity.

This transfer of about $8B effectively doubles Iran’s accessible foreign exchange reserves. Another unilateral Biden administration concession to the clerical regime in exchange for nothing. https://t.co/PwaUFCVInZ

A weak and appeasing America will only embolden Iran and hurt the American people. We built out an enormous coalition of Gulf states and Israel that want to push back on Iran — the US must be continue to be a part of that. https://t.co/FJxNtzr3UX

Foreign ministry says Iran’s assets to be unlocked through consultations with US
By Korea Times, February 23, 2021
The Iranian assets locked in South Korea will be released after consultations with the United States, the foreign ministry said Tuesday, after Iran claimed it has reached a deal with Seoul on how to transfer and use the frozen money.
According to Iran’s government website, the agreement was reached Monday (Tehran time) during the meeting between Iran’s Central Bank Gov. Abdolnaser Hemmati and South Korean Ambassador to Iran Ryu Jeong-hyun.
It said that the two sides agreed on the destinations for the transfer and that the Iranian central bank informed Seoul of the amount of the money it wants to be transferred.
Tehran has been pressuring Seoul to unblock about US$7 billion of its assets frozen in two South Korean banks due to U.S. sanctions. Seoul has been in talks with Washington on ways to release the money without violating the sanctions, including expanding humanitarian trade with the Middle Eastern country.
“Our government has been in talks with Iran about ways to use the frozen assets, and the Iran side has expressed its consent to the proposals we have made,” the foreign ministry said without providing further details of the proposals.
“The actual unfreezing of the assets will be carried out through consultations with related countries, including the United States,” the ministry said.
Earlier this month, a foreign ministry official said Seoul was finalizing talks with Washington about using some of the frozen funds to pay Tehran’s U.N. dues in arrears, to which the Islamic republic has also agreed.
To facilitate the trade with Iran of humanitarian items, such as medicine and medical equipment, South Korea has been seeking to use a Swiss channel backed by the U.S., known as the Swiss Humanitarian Trade Arrangement (SHTA), to use the money through Swiss companies’ sales of goods to Iran.
Despite the denial from Seoul and Tehran, speculation has mounted that Iran’s discontent over the frozen funds is related to its recent seizure of a South Korean oil tanker and its crew members in the Persian Gulf early last month.
Early this month, Tehran said it would release the sailors, except for the captain, which coincided with Seoul’s confirmation on the progress in the talks with Washington about using the frozen money for the U.N. dues. (Yonhap)

This has been the most predictable administration in history. They are doing everything we predicted they would do in terms of Iran. The spirit of the anti-Christ is alive and well inside this administration. They are desperate to put money into the pockets of the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world. What other conclusion can you come to other than they are doing the bidding of the beast.

It’s argumentative as to whether Iran or Soddy Barbaria constitutes the “biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world”. Yes our “ally” Soddy Barbaria also sponsors islamic terrorism.

No, there is no argument. For a long time and for good reason Iran has been regarded he world’s biggest exporter of terror. In the Middle East it supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, Assad in Syria, the Houtji in Yemen, the Palestinians fighting Israel. A few days ago when Russia abandoned a base in Syria and within 24 hours the Iranian Revolutionary Guards moved in.

You are right about the evilness of the Biden Administration. We cannot accuse this ‘mob’ of simply being stupid. They are that, but even more so they are thoroughly evil and thus in the hands of Satan.
The video showing Mike Pompeo is great. How utterly frustrated and disgusted he must be while watching the new imbeciles running the country down into a hole.

Really? There is question in my mind. There is no longer a Constitutional Republic. America was stolen and is totally under control of an Unconstitutional regime of evil and corruption. There is no real pretense of anything else!

And of course, the Swiss are in the thick of it. They also play both sides.

The Swiss are nothing but cunning deceivers. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

So What? They over throwed the Constitutional Republic. There is no longer any law. They can do whatever they want and get by with it with only token resistance until they bury all decent! The government is a sham, all so called three branches of it! The wonderful just appointed devout Catholic Amy Barret is the biggest traitor yet! I(n retrospect how could anyone not suspect anyone that the traitor McConnell supported?

A lot has died in America. The Republicans in present form are a sham opposition, weak, cowardly, in other words a reflection of gutless Mitch McConnell and those RINOs who constantly support the Democrats and stabbed Trump in the back. Those sailors who surrendered to the Iranians were in my opinion a disgrace and reflected America today. They had bigger boats and guns than the Iranians, yet meekly surrendered . Some cried. Consider this difference. In 1987, in Angola a Russian-led army of somewhere between 27,000 and 30,000 Angolans and Cubans with hundreds of Russian and East European advisors advanced into south-east Angola to crush the pro-Western UNITA. group. South Africa sent in less than 5,000 soldiers to assist UNITA and it was mostly they who utterly smashed the communists, killing between 4,800, and 6,000, destroying 94 Russian tanks and capturing millions of dollars of Russian equipment, tanks, armoured cars, artillery, etc. Now, this is what I expect of Americans, but the spirit is no longer there.
