This is all Biden’s fault with his weakness and pandering. Iran General Ghaani has made death threats to Trump and others who had a hand in the death of terrorist General Soleimani. So the Biden Admin is trying to reassure those threatened that they have their backs and there is nothing to worry about. But their track record tells a far different story.
The Biden Admin put out a statement to comfort those threatened.
“Yesterday, Iran purported to impose sanctions on 51 Americans. They do so as Iran’s proxy militias continue to attack American troops in the Middle East, and as Iranian officials threaten to carry out terror operations inside the United States and elsewhere around the world. Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens. This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.
As Americans, we have our disagreements on politics. We have our disagreements on Iran’s policy. But we are united in our resolve against threats and provocations. We are united in the defense of our people. We will work with our allies and partners to deter and respond to any attacks carried out by Iran. Should Iran attack any of our nationals, including any of the 51 people named yesterday, it will face severe consequences.”
“Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.
“Wherever it is needed, we will provide for the basis of revenge against the Americans from within their houses and by people by their side without us being present,” IRGC Quds Force Commander Sardar Esmail Qaani said in remarks published by Iranian media. “If wise people in America are found who deal with those who committed the atrocity of assassinating Commander Soleimani, this action will be much less burdensome for America than if the offspring of the Resistance Front, who know no bounds, to themselves go and take this revenge.”
I would sleep with one eye open if I am counting solely on Biden to save me. He has failed Americans so many times this year that trusting him is beyond naive. Supposedly we just got the last few stranded Americans out of Afghanistan, just six months after the fact… The border crisis is still ongoing… And if you are a female, Biden feels you shouldn’t have rights to your privacy, since he is letting confused men into your locker rooms and onto your sports teams. This is a thanks, but no thanks moment. Anyone threatened is likely safer on their own security detail.
