There's been some serious problems with how the Biden administration has handled its response to supporting Israel after the October 7 terrorist attack that Hamas perpetrated on our ally in the Middle East. It best, it's been a mixed bag. It just got worse when it was revealed that the administration extended a waiver sanction for Iran--which we know backs Hamas--so that they can receive around $10 billion from Iraq in exchange for electricity purchases.
According to a report from The New York Post, the waiver is for 120-days and was signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday. And, while it "is identical to one issued in July," that waiver wasn't signed just slightly a month after Iran-backed Hamas went after Israel.
The article also cites a report from the Associated Press, from included comments from anonymous officials:
