As Iran was about lose its UN General Assembly vote for nonpayment of dues, the US arranged funds to cover the debt and keep Iran voting​

By Thomas Lifson

The Trump administration’s sanctions on Iran were working so well that the mullahs were unable to put together the money to pay up on its United Nations dues. Not after paying much higher priority bills, such as supplying weapons to the Houthis fighting our allies in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and supporting Hezb’allah’s attacks in Israel. Or engaging in joint naval maneuvers with Russia and China.

What happened next is shocking, as reported in this New York Sun editorial:

…through legitimate channels, the Ayatollahs couldn’t scrape together enough money to pay their UN dues. So two weeks ago, Secretary General António Guterres issued a letter. It listed those countries that were so far behind in their dues that, under Article 19 of the United Nations Charter, they couldn’t vote in the General Assembly. Iran was the second worst deadbeat, after Venezuela.
From that point it took fewer than two weeks for the Biden administration to arrange for $18 million of blocked Iranian funds to be released to the Iranians so they could pay their dues. The niceties were carried out by the South Koreans working with our own Treasury Department. It seems that Secretary Janet Yellen doesn’t have enough to do ginning up inflation. Why not grease the skids for a war in the Middle East?

Iran's voice will still be heard in the UN General Assembly

Imagine if President Trump had bailed out the UN arrears of a US foe. The articles of impeachment would have been drafted within hours.

What is there left to say with these leftists at this point? Their party can do anything they want without being held accountable.

maybe the president wasn’t fully briefed on the mullahs intentions

Continuation of Obama’s pivot from Saudi Arabia to Iran.

Can we all agree Iran is an enemy of the United States?

SECTION 3. Clause 1. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open court.

But we have not declared war on them. So treason is not a valid charge yet.

Dark money from Iran went into the Biden campaign.

John Kerry is also a shill for Iran.
