Iran-backed Terrorist Groups in Iraq Cheer Prospect of Biden Presidency
2020-11-12
[LI] Assured by the mainstream media coverage declaring Democratic candidate Joe Biden winner of the U.S. presidential race, Iran-backed terrorist groups in Iraq feel emboldened.

The prospect of President Donald Trump leaving the White House, as portrayed by the U.S. and world media, comes as a relief to Iraq-based pro-Iranian terror militias.

"Trump’s era was a very negative one, a period of demolition," a spokesman for the leading Iran-sponsored Iraqi terrorist group Kataeb Hezbollah said.

The Iranian regime is equally upbeat in its statements about a possible Biden-Harris administration, hoping to revive the Obama-era appeasement policies.

If the mainstream media and the Biden-Harris camp have their way, the Tehran and pro-Iran terrorist groups may have a good reason to rejoice. A Democrat-led administration will likely undo President Donald Trump’s legacy on Iran, lifting economic sanctions and ending the campaign of maximum pressure against the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism and its Islamist proxies across the Middle East.

#2  So, if Biden becomes President, we're back to never-ending wars (expending blood and treasure) in the Mideast?

#1  Little wonder they're 'cheering.' Unmarked, midnight 'Obama Deal' money train to Tehran likely to be resumed under a Biden administration.
