What’s with Joe Biden’s love of Tehran — and why isn’t it prompting an IranGate fury?
With all the troubling news about President Biden and his team’s inexplicable support for Iran, you’d surely expect media outlets to be screaming “Iran, Iran, Iran” — just as they harped on “Russia, Russia, Russia” in reporting on Donald Trump.
Nope: It’s been crickets.
The latest: Republican lawmakers uncovered evidence suggesting Biden special Iran envoy Robert Malley improperly shared sensitive or classified documents with Tehran.
Malley had his security clearance suddenly canceled last year, and the FBI launched a probe into whether he mishandled classified documents.
This is the guy, recall, who worked with and hired affiliates of the Iran Experts Initiative, a group Tehran used to push for its nuclear and national-security agenda across the West.
Good that Malley was placed on leave, but why, exactly? What actually happened, what did Joe Biden know about it — and when did he know it?
Don’t inquiring minds want to know? Apparently not for Democrats or much of the media.
By contrast, had Malley worked for Trump, Dems would already have Christopher Steele compiling a dossier on the dirt Iran has on Biden and it would be wall-to-wall coverage. (How do you say kompromat in Farsi?)
Add in the news that Team Biden has been trying to convince Britain and France not to censure Iran over its nuclear program, despite recent alarming advances.
And Biden’s attempt to strongarm Israel not to retaliate after Iran launched more than 300 missiles and attack drones against it, directly from Iranian launch sites.
Plus his own lame-to-nonexistent retaliation against Iran, when it used its proxies to attack US soldiers.
All that on top of Biden’s waiving of some Iran sanctions and dropping enforcement of others — providing billions to the regime.
What gives? Iran is not America’s friend — and won’t be anytime soon.
It’s looking to dominate the entire Middle East through the use of force, mostly via its proxies.
It’s developing nukes. Backing Russia’s war on Ukraine. Spreading terror. Repressing its own citizens.
It wants to wipe out our close ally Israel: Its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei just praised US college students protesting against the Jewish state’s war for survival against Hamas.
Yet Biden seems to be doing everything he can protect, fund and kowtow to Tehran.
His team has revived and amplified the delusional Obama-era project of appeasing the Iranian regime in order to reform it.
It’s all enough to make you wonder whose side he’s really on, but our media elite only ask such questions about leaders they despise.
