In a move not directly part of the Iran nuclear deal, but clearly not entirely unrelated, the Biden Administration is considering a side deal that would see the Iranian Revolutionary Guards removed from the terrorist blacklist.
Rumors to that effect have been circulating for awhile, with Republican Senators’ opposition to the nuclear deal coming in part because of the possibility of such a move, even if the deal and the list removal aren’t tied to one another.
The reports suggest that this side deal is part of an effort to try to deescalate regional tensions outside of the nuclear deal, and that taking the Guards off the watchlist, a reversible measure, would be a step in that direction.
Former Vice President Mike Pence told the Israelis that there was such a plan, and unsurprisingly Israel is opposed. The Israelis are claiming that the State Department told them the reports were not accurate and no decision on the separate deal is made.
Hmm leaking state secrets to foreign government. Maybe they rioters weren’t far of with their chantđź¤
But for the wrong reasons.
IsraHell sez….Israhell sez…
IsraHell shut your fat flapping mouth.
oh boy !
Israel is gonna be some mad about that.
I pity Joe and company for the lambasting they are about to get.
I wouldn’t pity Bye-Done if he were engulfed by hornets. He and Bennet are two peas from the same pod.
Purchasing Iranian oil to reduce the oncoming stagflation is one thing; ignoring terrorist armies is another.
And if the IRG are removed from the terrorist blacklist then so should the Navy SEALs. Wait, they’re not on that list?
But, they’re part of Iran’s terrorist blacklist…!
