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.

  • 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."

  • 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.

    • Iran has directed assassination attempts on American soil against former U.S. officials.

    • Iran has targeted the Trump campaign and President Trump himself.

  • The Harris-Biden administration rescinded critical Trump-era policies that weakened Iran, including U.S. participation in U.N. sanctions on Iran, and have enabled Iran and its terror proxies in the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.
