John Kirby denies that Joe Biden has "unfrozen" Iranian funds.
Let's go through a timeline of facts:
$10 billion - November 2023 - Biden regime reapproved a sanctions
waiver that unlocks upwards of $10 billion in frozen funds of Iraqi
payments for Iranian energy.
$6 billion - Sept 2023 - As part of a prisoner swap Blinken ensured
Iranian funds were moved into a restricted fund for "humanitarian
trade."
$10 Billion - July 2023 - Antony Blinken signed a national security
waiver allowing Iraq to deposit payments for Iranian energy into non-
Iraqi banks in third countries instead of into restricted accounts.
$3.42 Billion - August 2021 - The IMF sent $3.42 billion to Iran in
special drawing rights. The Biden administration had the authority to
stop the transfer and chose not to.
$80+ billion - Since 2021 - Iran's oil exports have surged, breaking
records, because the Biden administration has eased enforcement of
sanctions, allowing an explosion in illicit purchases, mostly by China.
$3.8 billion - Since 2021 - Iran turned to the sale of petrochemicals
to avoid a Trump-era sanction. Sales have surged thanks to Biden.
$1.6 billion - Since 2021 - The Trump administration imposed sanctions
on Irans steel industry, which the Biden administration hasnt
enforced.
The Biden Administration says its commitment to Israel is "ironclad,"
but apparently so is its commitment to funding Iranian terrorism.
