Have the Biden administration and the European Union already forgotten the disastrous outcome of appeasing the mullahs in 2015...? US President Barack Obama pledged at the time that he was "confident" the deal would "meet the national security needs of the United States and our allies".
Throughout that time, the EU and the Obama administration not only initiated and expanded appeasement policies, they made unprecedented concessions in an attempt to dissuade the ruling mullahs from their internal and external aggression. The US and the EU met the Iranian mullahs with generosity and flexibility every step of the way.
After sanctions against the mullahs were lifted, instead of bringing peace and curbing Iran's malign behavior at home and abroad, those appeasements... generated billions of dollars in revenue for Iran's military institution, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as for Iran's militia and terror groups. Tehran used that influx of revenues to expand its influence throughout the region, especially in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq.
