'The Biden administration failed to achieve its strategy of a mutual return to a nuclear deal, but the attempt massively enriched Iran’s terror programs and proxies in the process.' -Gabriel Noronha
2019 was a tough year for the payroll professionals serving in Iran's terrorist groups across the Middle East. One distraught Iranian-backed fighter in Syria who had lost a third of his salary and other benefits lamented to the New York Times in March of that year that"the golden days are gone and will never return ... Iran doesn’t have enough money to give us."
Yet in 2021, salvation was delivered almost immediately upon the accession of Rob Malley. He had served as the Biden administration’s top official on Iran until his security clearance was suspended this spring during an ongoing investigation by the FBI and Diplomatic Security Service into his alleged mishandling of classified information. Malley and other Biden officials suspended enforcement of most Iran sanctions in a bid to have them rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal.
In a July 14 letter, eight U.S. Senators wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen that Iran’s"ghost fleet" of tankers evading U.S. sanctions has grown from 60 vessels in 2021 to 338 today. Most of these tankers are ferrying illicit oil from Iran to China, helping the regime reach its highest level of exports in five years, with the proceeds flowing directly to Hezbollah and the IRGC.
