The Biden foreign-policy team has inherited an Iran that is weak.
In. his first address to the State Department in early February, President Biden ambitiously described the need for U.S. leadership to counter what he termed, "This new moment of advancing authoritarianism" around the world.
From the time Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his Islamist backers seized power in Iran in 1979, the regime has existed through maintaining a reign of terror over its citizens.
Tomorrow, the United States and Iran will resume talks in Vienna, in what diplomats described as, "The most extensive effort to shore up the accord since President Biden took office in January."
Last month the new Biden State Department made a key paragraph from that Iran report disappear, covering up the number of Iranian citizens killed by the regime - from 1,500 down to 304.
In removing the text, the State Department believes it can defang outrage against its coming diplomatic overtures to Tehran by minimizing the mullah's brutal body count.
In order to fulfill his own mandate to confront "Authoritarianism," Biden must hold the regime accountable for its gross human-rights violations committed against the citizens of Iran.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
