President Joe Biden approved the release of $6 billion to Iran as part of a hostage ransom and prisoner swap. It follows a similar $1.5 billion hostage deal his same aides arranged during the Obama administration.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has already declared the regime will spend the funds however it sees fit. Certain items are high on the Iranian agenda. First, the regime will buy an off-the-shelf. While Iran’s military capabilities are advanced, especially with regard to drones and missiles, its air power has long been its Achilles' heel. Most of Iran’s jet fighters predate the 1979 Islamic Revolution; some of its planes are models that flew in the Korean War.
Iran has long sought high-end Russian-built Sukhoi-35s. An Iranian drone for the Russian jet-fighter trade is not even, but if Iran throws in a few billion dollars, the purchase becomes more possible.
A more dangerous prospect is that the Iranian regime, which, according to the State Department, is still the world’s greatest state-sponsor of terrorism, might fund various terrorist proxy groups. The numbers involved should weigh on the White House's conscience. Forensic analysis shows that Hamas’ Hebrew University cafeteria bombing that killed five Americans cost the group $50,000 to plan and execute. An ordinary suicide bomb belt, meanwhile, only costs $1,500.
Those numbers may seem high. There are, after all, only 40,000 McDonald's locations in the world, but the simple fact only highlights how extreme the ransom is. Biden’s partisans argue the money is Iran’s anyway, and so does not represent a ransom.
Spin cannot erase the damage Biden has done. Americans will come home in body bags, their murders financed by the bankers Biden empowered. Those kidnapped, not only in Iran but also by terrorist groups and criminal cartels the world over, now face multi-billion ransoms. No group is going to ask for $20,000 when they see Biden, McGurk, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan signing off on amounts three or four orders of magnitude higher. It is now open season on Americans.
