What does this actually mean in terms of policy? And, will Biden’s people walk this back by the time this post gets published at 1030am?
Biden vows to ‘free Iran’ in West Coast campaign speech
U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday vowed to “free” Iran, and said that demonstrators working against the country’s government would soon succeed in freeing themselves.
“Don’t worry, we’re gonna free Iran. They’re gonna free themselves pretty soon,” Biden said during a wide-ranging campaign speech in California, as dozens of demonstrators gathered outside holding banners supporting Iranian protesters.
Biden did not expand on his remarks or specify what additional actions he would take during the remarks at MiraCosta College near San Diego.
The White House’s National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Seven weeks of demonstrations in Iran were ignited by the death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of Iran’s morality police.
The NSC was probably rather shocked when they saw the statement, and hung their heads trying to figure out how to weasel their way out of this.
What the short piece didn’t mention is why people are protesting Brandon
(AP) Biden made the comments as supporters in the crowd held up cellphones displaying the message “FREE IRAN.”
The Biden administration has faced growing criticism from Iranian American activists who are calling on the White House to abandon its efforts to resurrect the Iran nuclear deal because of the protests.
Any sort of deal would give Iran lots and lots of money and freedom, just like the previous one, since it isn’t Iran trying to get the deal in place, it’s Biden. Give the Biden admin some props, though, as they are trying to get Iran removed from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. Why they’re on it in the first place is a travesty, but, entirely business as usual for the United Nations.
