Biden’s Weak Iran Deal Helps Russia’s Economy and Military

The Iran deal, should it pass, would gravely undermine U.S. interests by enabling Tehran’s destabilizing activity. Aside from settling for weak limits on Iran’s nuclear program, the deal would flood Iran and its terroristic proxies with billions and potentially lift the foreign-terrorist-organization designation on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard while its operatives actively try to assassinate U.S. officials. The deal wouldn’t just empower Iran, however, it would also undermine American pressure on Russia.

Moscow has everything to gain from a nuclear Iran, including economic and military benefits that would bolster Putin’s efforts in Ukraine.
