Iran oil is fueling Russia’s war machine – US must not lift sanctions on Tehran
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)

Fox News
… Recent reporting reveals that Iran is supplying Russia with illicit oil supplies to finance his war in Ukraine. This is alarming to say the least, because America and its allies are on the verge of providing a $10 billion windfall to the terrorist regime in Tehran.
For reasons that are still unclear, the Biden administration has long sought to revive the failed Obama-era 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Reports suggest an agreement is imminent…. [R]emoving sanctions and allowing the sale of Iranian oil across the globe would be a massive victory for Tehran — and a massive loss for the U.S.
… [T]his Wednesday also marks 15 years since the Iranian government kidnapped Florida resident and former FBI agent Bob Levinson…. The Iranian authorities still deny responsibility for his capture and death. Iran’s is a murderous, backstabbing, and fundamentally anti-American regime. The case of Bob Levinson makes that clear enough….
We know from experience how Tehran will use its windfall. When the Obama administration established the first nuclear deal in 2015, Iran did not live up to its end of the bargain. On the contrary, Tehran used its newfound funds to develop its ballistic missile program, strengthen Hezbollah and the brutal Assad regime in Syria, and crack down on domestic dissent. All the while, the Iranian authorities continued nuclear weaponization experiments at a secret facility….
President Biden is desperate to bring energy costs down without upsetting the fanatical left wing of this party, so desperate that he would rather import bloodstained Iranian oil than permit further energy exploration in the U.S….. Americans deserve better. The family of Bob Levinson deserves better….
