Rather than building on this foundation for stability, the Biden administration has inexplicably reverted to the failed, chaos-sowing policies of the past, especially when it comes to the Middle East's leading patron of terror: Iran.
IndexOf("656089") != -1). As the Trump administration was left to deal with the deadly domino effect of the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism being newly flush with cash, our intelligence was consistent and clear: Iran used that money to fund attacks across the region against American interests and allies.
There is little dispute among intelligence officials and analysts from various countries that many of the rockets in the stockpile launched by Hamas were either bought by Iran, built by Iran, or unleashed by militants who were trained by Iran.
It is no wonder that Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently praised the terrorist group's "Show of power" in Gaza - and in turn, Hamas's political chief Ismail Haniyeh thanked Iran for "Providing funds and weapons" to their effort.
If the Biden administration continues on its current course, re-enters a nuclear deal with Iran and lifts sanctions on the regime, this will be tantamount to giving them another airplane full of cash.
Tragically, even though the connection between the Iranian regime and the recent violence is so clear, any condemnation of Iran has been conspicuously absent from the Biden administration's talking points.
The Biden administration should instead focus on expanding the Abraham Accords, pushing for a normalization agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and establishing a bloc of peace from Israel to the Emirates that would isolate Iran and actually create a real incentive for them to change their posture.
