Biden’s Iran appeasement

Barack Obama’s controversial Iran policy centered on the nuclear deal, which failed to halt the clerical regime’s atomic ambitions and strengthened the Islamic Republic and its allies throughout the Middle East while downgrading America’s relations with traditional allies such as Israel and the Persian Gulf monarchies.

For the first time in centuries, Iran is the dominant foreign power in Damascus, Beirut, Baghdad, and Sanaa. Obama believed that Washington’s “friends as well as” the Iranians needed “to find an effective way to share the neighborhood and institute some sort of cold peace.”
