The massive Hamas attack on Israel represent a failure of Biden’s foreign policy in the Middle East. While Biden gave the impression that they were attempting to work on the Abraham accord between Saudi’s and Israel, the reality is that Biden’s major policy initiative was to resurrect the Obama fantasy of a radical realignment in the Middle East to include Iran. His recent policy to give Iran 6 billion dollars as part of a swap of Americans gave a different view. Iranian were granted more money to pass around their clients including Hamas and this attack could be designed to split any potential Saudi-Israeli alliance. Biden administration will have to decide between continuing this alliance at the expense of Iranian negotiations or reverse, abandon the alliance to continue the appeasement of Iran.
United States have pursued a foreign policy throughout the Obama and now Biden’s administration that strengthen Iranian role in the Middle East and allow the Iranians more influence in the region. United States pursued this policy in order to “ “find a more stable balance of power that would make [the Middle East] less dependent on direct U.S. interference or protection.” These words belonged to Robert Malley’s who was Barack Obama lead negotiator and we know he is being investigated after he allowed an Iranian agent of influence to into the sensitive positions in both the State Department and in the Pentagon. Biden has used the phrase” an integrated Middle East”, a phrase means a collaboration with Iran.
Biden Administration has done what it could to undermine Prime Minister Netanyahu and even sent American dollars to support NGO’s protesting against Netanyahu There is evidence that Iranian agents high-level access to U.S. intelligence, our government has been infiltrated by Iranians. No matter how you cut it, if you give Iranians money, you are supporting the Hamas Palestinian violence.
Hamas jihadists are committing unspeakable atrocities. The six billion dollars passed on to Iran, supposedly to monitor by Qatar and “used for food, medicine and other necessities” but as Iranian President noted, ““This money belongs to the Iranian people, the Iranian government, so the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide what to do with this money.” Translation: We will use the money for whatever or as we all know, money is fungible, money you “use for food and medicine” frees up other money to be used for weapons to be used against Israel.
Here is what our State Department stated about Iran, “Designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1984, Iran continued its support for terrorist-related activity in 2021, including support for Hizballah, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, and various terrorist and militant groups in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, and elsewhere throughout the Middle East. Iran used the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) to provide support to terrorist organizations, provide cover for associated covert operations, and create instability in the region. Iran has acknowledged the involvement of the IRGC-QF in the Iraq and Syria conflicts, and the IRGC-QF is Iran’s primary mechanism for cultivating and supporting terrorist activity abroad. In 2019, the Secretary of State designated the IRGC, including IRGC-QF, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Iran also used regional militant and proxy groups to provide deniability, in an attempt to shield it from accountability for its destabilizing policies….Since the end of the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict, Iran has supplied Hizballah in Lebanon with thousands of rockets, missiles, and small arms in violation of UNSCR 1701. Israeli security officials and politicians expressed concerns that Iran was supplying Hizballah with advanced weapons systems and technologies, as well as assisting the group in creating infrastructure that would permit it to indigenously produce rockets and missiles to threaten Israel from Lebanon and Syria. Iran has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Hizballah and trained thousands of its fighters at camps in Iran. Hizballah fighters have been used extensively in Syria to support the Assad regime.”
Biden thought it was brilliant ideas to give Iran 6 billion dollars but then this administration foreign policy is slowly turning into a disaster with a war in central Europe, now a major conflict in the Middle East, leaving maybe one more conflict in the Pacific, China versus Tawain. The present conflict had its root in a feckless foreign policy that continued the Obama failed policies that somehow working with Iran will bring stability.
