The New York Post editorial board is encouraging President Joe Biden to stand up to Iran; “Biden should immediately end all further nuclear talks and reimpose the toughest possible sanctions on Tehran,” The Post says.
From The New York Post:
For starters, Biden should immediately end all further nuclear talks and reimpose the toughest possible sanctions on Tehran.
As it stands, his sanctions relief has allowed Tehran to move from just $4 billion in available global reserves when Biden took office to over $40 billion today.
Step 1: Officially re-freeze the $6 billion he released in his now demonstrablymisguided ransom payment for US hostages.
Step 2: Drop the delusional efforts to pretend Iran’s rulers didn’t collude in and sign off on the 10/7 terror assault, the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust.
Step 3: Answer Iran’s latest outrageous threats, like Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian’s Monday talk of “preemptive action” against Israel, with powerful ones of his own.
For example, vow to retaliate against its proxies, and perhaps strike Tehran’s nuclear facilities, if Hezbollah, any Iranian-backed militias or Iran’s own Revolutionary Guard launch any new attacks.
That’s the best way to deter escalation of the war beyond Gaza.
