Iran the number one terrorist country in the world funded the Oct 7th, 2023 atrocity against Israeli and American civilians using their proxy terrorist organization Hamas whose goals were and are to kill Jews and Americans and destroy Israel. For 47 years they taught their children and chanted “Death to Israel, Death to America “.
If Iran had limited financial resources, their terrorist ambitions against Israel and the invasion on October 7th, 2023, would never have happened. President Trump in his first term sanctioned Iran, cut off their banking, confiscated their financial assets and punished any country that purchased oil and gas from Iran or violated these sanctions. It was very effective.
Under President Trump Iran’s ability to finance terrorism and fund Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah and other anti-Jewish groups was limited and there were very little overt hostilities toward Israel. Under President Obama, Iran was allowed to have a pathway to a nuclear weapon and allowed to sell oil and gas which financed their terrorism. President Obama sent plane loads of cash to Iran which fueled a lot of weaponry used against Israel.
Under President Biden and his policy of appeasement he lifted President Trump’s sanctions and oil and gas money again began to flow to Iran. Iran was rich again hence what followed was Oct 7th, 2023, the worst catastrophe in Jewish history since the Holocaust.
Once the war with Iran is won millions of lives will be saved, tensions in the Middle East will have fallen to the lowest level in history, more Arab and Muslim nations will join the Abraham Accords bringing commerce, tourism, travel through each of their airports with the exchange of students, technology and a shared sense of security against terrorism that will unite Jews, Arabs, Muslims and Christians but in the meantime we have to in exchange for this war pay higher prices for gas and goods.
Once the war ends the world will be a safer place with no nuclear threat from Iran, no terrorism from Iran’s proxy’s and peace will thrive for a long long time. Paying more for gas and goods temporarily is a small price to pay to secure peace and harmony in the world. Look at the long-term effects and not the short-term pain.
