Tehran hijacks, abducts and threatens … the US prescribes more diplomacy - Opinion

Just minutes after Tehran threatened “punitive action” against Greece for its involvement in the confiscation of a cargo of smuggled Iranian oil, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces seized two Greek tankers in the Arabian Gulf.

The ayatollahs’ regime has frequently attacked Gulf shipping and staged drone and missile strikes against regional oil infrastructure and civilian targets. The world lethargically shrugs.

Astonishingly, the US has no Plan B. Malley doggedly insists that “the only option here is the diplomatic one.” Biden’s administration asserted in February that without a deal “within the next few weeks” Iranian nuclear advances would “make it impossible” to return to the 2015 agreement. Yet here we are nearly four months later with diplomacy powered along by the endless momentum of delusional wishful thinking and strategic drift.

Without a decisive change in strategy, we risk witnessing the apocalyptic consequences of appeasing deranged theocrats who genuinely believe there’s nothing they can’t get away with.

People need to get onto the Bible and study God’s plan. We are living in the times Jesus and his Apostles said and wrote. We need to prepare and be about his instructions.

Thanks. Now I know why. Donald Trump's best except that he has a foul mouth.

Biden gave Russia 17 billion dollars to help Iran with their nuclear weapons, and gave Iran 7 billion for their nuclear weapons. And gave the taliban money, and 83 million dollars in American weapons.

The Biden crime and the Obama crime family and the Clinton crime family and John Kerry, because John Kerry has a daughter that is married to one of the leaders of Iran, all are involved, in Iran deal.
