History suggests that Joe Biden’s response to Iran for its proxy forces killing three American soldiers will be weak. It will invite further attacks. And it won’t deal with the elephant in the room: Tehran’s nuclear weapons programme.
“I don’t think we need a wider war,” he said on Tuesday, revealing his shaky hand to Tehran.
Biden has paid a $6 billion ransom to Tehran for the return of US hostages, relaxed sanctions to allow the regime to make an additional $35 billion in oil exports, and so far failed to respond in a meaningful way to counteract recent Iranian aggression in the Middle East.
And, most crucially, his failed nuclear negotiations with the regime have allowed it to almost develop a nuclear bomb. The International Atomic Energy Agency has warned that Tehran is “close” to weapons-grade material.
