When the people of Iran rose up by the millions against the Iranian regime in 2009, the Obama administration stayed abhorrently silent. This year, on July 15, many in Iran rose against the regime again; again, the Biden administration remained totally silent, just as Obama did.

Obama and the Iranian regime sold the world the idea that appeasement towards the mullahs and lifting UN sanctions would supposedly help the Iranian people and make the Iranian government a constructive player. Instead, the opposite took place.
