With timing that surely sparked Tehran's contemptuous glee, the Biden administration gifted Iran a $6 billion ransom payment on Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Iran will now release five Americans it has detained in return for the freeing of $6 billion in Iranian funds that Washington had frozen. Iran will also secure the release of five Iranians detained in the United States, including smugglers who were attempting to support Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear program.The Biden administration is trying to tamp down Republican fury sparked by its deal.
The deal with Biden is overwhelmingly in Iran's favor. It would be one thing were this agreement simply a five-for-five prisoner swap. But the $6 billion topping on the cake is a dangerous obscenity. Iran need only move the $6 billion to nominally humanitarian accounts and then transfer the money again to other accounts to satisfy Biden's fatal incuriosity. These could be accounts that are, for example, funding Iran's nuclear program and efforts to build ballistic missiles. That is to say, the money could flow toward developing the terrorist regime's ability to fire nuclear warheads against Israel, Saudi Arabia, or Europe.
