Forty years ago during the Iran Hostage Crisis, Biden had been against rescuing the American hostages, putting him even further on the appeasement side than the Carter administration.
In a speech to the American Iranian Council that same year, Biden argued that, "We cannot simply dismiss Iran's security concerns" and urged that American gestures to the Islamic terror state should "Not rest on the principle of reciprocity" because Iran wouldn't respond to them.
At a 2003 Senate hearing, Biden suggested that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons because it felt "Isolated", and that its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction had nothing to do with Islam.
Behind the scenes, Biden had tapped into the Iran Lobby's fundraising apparatus, raising tens of thousands, which, by the 2020 election had turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The National Iranian American Council, often described as the Iran Lobby, claimed its members had run phone banks and donated $385,000 to Biden.
Unlike Obama, who was closest to the Muslim Brotherhood, Biden is much closer to Iran.
If Biden takes office, it is quite possible that Iran will carry out its first nuclear test.
