SecDef Austin threatens to do his job with Iran

Presidential lapdog and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin got his skivvies tied in a knot and pinky-swore that the US would remain tough on Iran's nuclear ambitions in the midst of the Biden-Harris-Klain-Obama-AOC administration tries to hammer out and revive a nuclear deal and thus lift sanctions if the terror-sponsoring nation limits its enrichment program. 

If the US can get Iran to place such a limit on enrichment, and also pinky-swear not to develop nukes for now, well there you go.

Austin spike in Bahrain over the weekend at the annual Manama Dialogue, off the coast of Saudi Arabia to discuss regional security issues. Dozens of world leaders attended while our alleged President looked for his shoes. 

Austin attempted to reassure regional leaders who were concerned about the US' abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan and its shift to the Indo-Pacific region and tried to convince them we wouldn't do the same to them like we did to the Afghans, the Green Card holders, and the Americans we abandoned. Only he didn't phrase it that way.

“The United States remains committed to preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, and we remain committed to a diplomatic outcome of the nuclear issue,” Austin claimed without evidence. “But if Iran isn’t willing to engage seriously, then we will look at all the options necessary to keep the United States secure.”

Let Brain Flushings be the first to say: Iran is not willing to engage seriously. They will do whatever they need to do to build nuclear weapons and lie to the world to achieve this goal. "Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on the Left."

The U.S. team will return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) talks in Vienna and negotiate in good faith, Austin said, but added that Iran’s actions in recent months haven’t been encouraging.

No kidding.

“Iran’s nuclear activities are bringing us closer to the point at which returning to the JCPOA won’t recapture its benefits,” he said.

Former President Trump intelligently pulled the U.S. out of the JCPOA in 2018, calling it a “one-sided deal” that failed to put a halt to Iran’s missile program and influence in the region. So Tehran used that as an excuse to openly ramp up its uranium enrichment program, which in all likelihood never slowed down, but now they didn't need to hide it.

Since then, Iran was likely behind such incidents as drone and mine attacks targeting ships sailing through the Persian Gulf region.

“Iran presents us all with serious security challenges that go beyond its nuclear program. Iran stokes tensions in this region and beyond, and that undermines peace and stability for us all,” Austin said.

Tehran blasted the U.S. defense chief Monday, with Saeed Khatibzadeh, a top government mouthpiece, telling reporters that Austin’s real reason for visiting the region was not to strengthen alliances but to enrich U.S. defense contractors.

“I believe that Americans are sending expensive bills to certain regional countries with their comments,” the spokesman with the tongue-twister of a name said, according to the state-linked Tasnim News Agency.

“Those are sentences and words preceding a bill, otherwise they are worth nothing,” he added.”The United States is probably seeking to sell more arms.”

Maybe we are seeking to sell more arms, but the reason goes beyond lining the pockets of defense contractors--it's to keep crap weasels like the Iranian government, from having a nuclear weapon and to defend the region once they inevitably do.

The irony of the situation is that this garbage administration has even slightly considered defunding Israel's Iron Dome defense system, as suggested by the anti-Zionists, anti-Semites of the so-called squad. Israel is our best ally in the region and has the capability of keeping Iran in check, at least to some extent. We better not do the them like we did to the Afghans.
