The Iranian regime is overtly belligerent. They are the source of most of the strife and human suffering in the Middle East.
They sit on more oil and gas than God. They could use that wealth to build a peaceful, prosperous Iran. Instead, they use that money to spread death and terror throughout the Middle East and the world.
With the money Biden gave them, the Iranians have:
- funded Hamas October 7, 2023, attack to scuttle peace deal among Israel and other Mideast nations
- funded the Assad regime in Syria
- funded Hezzbollah to attack Israel from Syria and Lebanon
- funded the Houthis who have destabilized Yemen and the Gulf of Aden
- funded Islamic Jihad in Iraq to attack US personnel
At no point has Iran engaged its neighbors to build a peaceful and prosperous Mideast.
The Iranian regime is a revolutionary one with imperialist ambitions to spread its revolution beyond the borders of Iran.
Iran, like Russia, does not want peace. They want conquest.
The strife in Gaza could come to an end if Hamas surrendered, released the hostages, and were exiled from Gaza.
The strife in Ukraine would be end if Russia would withdraw forces from within Ukraine's 1992 borders, including Crimea.
The strife in the Mideast could be ended unilaterally by Iran.
China, Iran, and Russia view themselves as ascendant world powers who have to defeat the West to achieve greatness and power. They will not voluntarily reliquinsh their ambitions nor will they cease their aggression against neighbors and perceived enemies.
