Biden’s Iran Containment Strategy Failing as Islamic Regime Gets Closer to Nuclear Weapon: Experts; With Tehran Closer to Nukes, Congress Must End Biden’s Iran Appeasement Before It’s Too Late; While the Biden Admin Was Out of the Office, Iran Took Over the Red Sea

Biden’s Iran containment strategy failing as Islamic regime gets closer to nuclear weapon: expertsL
President Biden’s strategy of containing and de-escalating Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism is failing as fears grow over Tehran inching closer to obtaining nuclear power, experts warn.
Gabriel Noronha, a former US Department State adviser on Iran, said Sunday that Biden’s gamble to “bribe” Iran to halt its nuclear advancements through economic pressures and oil sanctions has flopped.
“Iran advanced its nuclear program anyway and pocketed the extra revenue from oil sales to increase funding to its terror proxies,” Noronha told Fox News Digital. “We have had zero wins on the Iran file in the past three years but seen their strength return from their weakened state during the policy of maximum pressure.”
Last month, a confidential report from the International Atomic Energy Agency that was released by Reuters indicated Iran had “increased its production of highly enriched uranium,” reversing a prior output reduction from mid-2023.
The report also suggested that close to 90% of the uranium that Iran is enriching at its sprawling Natanz complex “is weapons grade.”
The report came as David Albright, a physicist and founder of the Institute for Science and International Security, made his own warning that the world should be concerned with Tehran’s nuclear capabilities in 2024.
In his new report titled, “How quickly could Iran make nuclear weapons today?” Albright claimed Tehran has now completed the facilities required to build its own nuclear arsenal.
“Iran can quickly make enough weapon-grade uranium for many nuclear weapons, something it could not do in 2003,” the former UN weapons inspector in Iraq wrote.
“Today, it would need only about a week to produce enough for its first nuclear weapon,” Albright said. “It could have enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month, and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for 12.” --->READ MORE HERE

With Tehran closer to nukes, Congress must end Biden’s Iran appeasement before it’s too late:
President Biden’s three years of appeasing Iran has brought the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism closer than ever to developing a nuclear weapon.
While most Americans were on winter break, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog reported that Iran had tripled its production rate of near-weapons-grade nuclear fuel — 60%-high-enriched uranium — with a stockpile large enough to potentially produce one nuclear bomb in a week or six bombs in a month.
On Monday, former UN weapons inspector David Albright assessed Tehran could build a few crude weapons to marry with this nuclear material, mostly in secret, in just six months.
How did we get here?
By the end of 2020, Iran was down to just $4 billion in accessible foreign-exchange reserves due to the Trump administration’s imposition of maximum economic pressure on Tehran.
The regime’s terror mastermind, Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani, had been killed in a US drone strike.
The godfather of its nuclear-weapons program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, had been assassinated (likely by Israel).
Nuclear-weapons scientists were being put on US sanctions lists while the president spoke openly about considering military strikes inside Iran.
Tehran’s nuclear-escalation curve had been flattened for months.
But Biden and his closest aides, like horses wearing ideological blinders, could not accept a strategy that was successfully containing, if not destabilizing, one of America’s greatest adversaries.
Biden pledged to restore the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal that effectively offered Tehran hundreds of billions of dollars to merely delay its nuclear breakout by a few years.
The deal’s supporters argue the nuclear crisis at hand exists only because Donald Trump pulled America out of the agreement in 2018. --->READ MORE HERE
