FACT CHECK: Kamala Has Enriched, Empowered Iran
October 01, 2024
America is weak under Kamala Harris — and our enemies know it.
Kamala Harris has tried to appease the Iranian regime — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — since she took office. Of course, it has been a massive failure — one that will only worsen if she and Tim Walz are elected in November.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Iran has managed to make at least $90 billion from illicit oil sales under Kamala, largely due to "ongoing hesitance to enforce oil sanctions on Iran."
- Iran had just $4 billion in foreign reserves when President Trump left office.
- Iran had just $4 billion in foreign reserves when President Trump left office.
- Even now, the Harris-Biden administration continues to waive sanctions on Iran — including as recently as August.
- A sanctions waiver in March gave "Tehran continued access to more than $10 billion — money it can use to import goods and repay debts, freeing up $10 billion elsewhere to spend on terrorism, missiles, nuclear weapons and the repression of Iranian women."
- A sanctions waiver in March gave "Tehran continued access to more than $10 billion — money it can use to import goods and repay debts, freeing up $10 billion elsewhere to spend on terrorism, missiles, nuclear weapons and the repression of Iranian women."
- Kamala has done nothing to stand up to Iran. She told Iran in October of last year "don't” — and since her tepid “warning,” Iranian proxies have killed U.S. troops, attacked U.S. Navy ships, shot down U.S. drones, and Iran itself has attacked Israel.
- The Harris-Biden administration rescinded critical Trump-era policies that weakened Iran, including U.S. participation in U.N. sanctions on Iran, and have enabled Iran and its terror proxies in the process.
A Harris-Walz administration would make the situation exponentially worse.
