Biden admin renews sanctions waiver giving Iran access to $10 billion from Iraq

2023-11-16

[NYPOST] The Biden administration has extended a sanctions waiver that will grant Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
access to roughly $10 billion from Iraq in exchange for electricity purchases.

The 120-day waiver, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken

...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked.

Under the conditions of the waiver, Iran will receive nearly $10 billion being held in escrow accounts in Iraq that may only be used for humanitarian trade, US officials told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

The waiver extension will also allow the Iranian regime to transfer the electricity payments to accounts in Oman, which can then be converted to other currencies for the Islamic Theocratic Republic to purchase non-sanctioned products, according to the outlet.

US officials noted that Blinken signed the waiver primarily because the Biden administration doesn’t want Iraq to be cut off from a critical source of energy.

#3 This statement,

"US officials noted that Blinken signed the waiver primarily because the Biden administration doesn’t want Iraq to be cut off from a critical source of energy."

is nonsense as Iraq is not only self sufficient in oil (produces over 4M barrels/day) but is a net exporter (although the pipeline to Turkey is temporarily shut).

#1 Haven't we have seen variations of this many times
in the past?

The LSD's/DC Swamp needs a Major War to have any hope of maintaining semi-control of the 2024 election, and protecting its flow of pocket $$$$$.

In this case the LSD /Swamp are getting a 2 for 1 special. By funding their Anti-Semitic agenda and getting a Middle East war also.
