Biden is dismissing & reversing every position the last administration had on Iran.

Let's look at Pompeo's 12 points - most JCPOA supporters don't know them.

The Biden team will not demand Tehran adhere to a single point.

The first 3 points are stronger than the JCPOA. 1. Iran must declare to the IAEA a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program, & permanently & verifiably abandon such work in perpetuity

2. Iran must stop enrichment & never pursue plutonium reprocessing. This includes closing its heavy water reactor

U.S. reentry into the JCPOA will only help China and Russia. State Department Spokesman Ned Price stated last week that "Russia and China share our interests with the JCPOA, and the U.S. considers them partners." If that were true, where are the Russian and Chinese sanctions? Russia and China will benefit at the expense of the U.S., the region and the Iranian people themselves. There will be joint naval and military operations, defense pacts and a possible integrated S-400 missile system across Syria, Iraq and Iran.

Because KH, AAH, HAN, KAI, and Badr are part of the Iraqi government's security apparatus and recieve government funds and have access to US funds, equip, and Intel; and answer to Tehran (deep breath)... The IRGC is trying to keep Baghdad from being held accountable by the U.S. ...by creating "new militias" or "rogue militias" to carry out attacks and then claim credit.

The "new militia" is then manned by skilled KH, AAH, HAN, KAI terrorists that carry out the attack at the request of the IRGC-QF. Hadi al-Ameri & Abu Fadak plan it, man, & equip it.

From where?? What group is demanding Biden reenter the JCPOA?? Besides American C-4 groups with suspect funding.

BS Narrative: Biden faces deadline pressure on Iran deal thehill.com/policy/interna… Do American voters know that the regime continued its nuclear program at sites the Obama-Biden current team agreed to carve out of the JCPOA? Meaning these sites could continue outside of the JCPOA.

Finish the Joke:

Rob Malley walks into a bar... ...and orders whatever today's Zima equivalent is...

What we know about Gen. Lloyd Austin:

From 2010 to 2016 he held command in both Iraq & at CENTCOM

Under his watch we saw the rise of ISIS and the rise of Qassem Soleimani’s militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen - he downplayed all.

He politicized intelligence at CENTCOM “We couldn't get slides in front of the General on Iraq or Afghanistan before ISIS rolled into Mosul”

After Mosul, Austin downplayed the formidable terrorist army & his J2, Gen Grove, pushed DIA analysts at CENTCOM to promote “good news stories” on the counter-ISIS campaign.

"There are two camps in Washington about policy towards Iraq. The first camp includes Michael Knights from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and Anthony Pfaff from the Atlantic Council who recommend patience & helping Kadhimi become independent of Iran."

I know both I know both @fordrs58 and I respectfully disagree with Tony "Well. that's how Arab Governments operate" and adamantly disagree with Knights - a man who can take a pro-Iran proxy position in Iraq and an anti-one in Yemen.

But let's break this down further.

Another attempt to make Kadhimi another Abadi and AAM - we've heard this tune before and we know how the story ends.

If Iran supports him - he's not going to be a problem. wsj.com/articles/a-new… via @WSJ "days after taking office, he ordered a raid against a small militia that had killed a protester in the southern city of Basra, in a move seen as a sign of intent to curb more powerful factions linked to Iran."

Low-hanging fruit. Their leader, Abu Yousef isn't worried.

"Iran Is Losing Its Grip in Iraq"

This couldn't be further from reality @EliLake, not surprising when Knights is one of your sources.

Fact: The IRGC-QF, Badr, AAH, & Lebanese Hezb support him.

The largest bloc in the COR are the pro-Tehran parties.
bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… Let's break this down:

"Kataib Hezbollah… threatened… (&) the Iraqi Parliament ignored it"

This is the Iraqi Parliament:
Badr, AAH, KIA, HaN supported Kadhimi and they are part of the largest bloc in the COR. The IRGC-QF and LH support Kadhimi & pressured other in the COR.

So, ISIS is attacking Sunni PMF across Iraq while the more capable Shia PMF tied to Tehran, argue that these ISIS attacks are justification for their existence.

Sunni PMF are saying they aren't being supported by Iraqi forces, Shia Hashd, or U.S. air support.

Others suggest... ISIS fighters are being released in Syria & escorted by Kataib Hezbollah to Iraq & set free.

The view on the Sunni street is IRGC-QF militias are allowing ISIS to hit Sunni PMF to justify their narrative that ISIS is returning because U.S. killed Soleimani.

Then there's this...

Soleimani prolonged the Iraq War through an infiltration campaign, and solidified his control of Baghdad during the ISIS campaign. During the Iraq War. At the strategic level, Soleimani prolonged the war in Iraq by slowly taking over Iraq’s Political, Military, and Foreign Policy portfolio.

The goal, to ensure any future Iraqi government’s decisions would be Tehran’s.

At the operational level, Soleimani directed a killing campaign against Sunni Iraqis that made it look like the U.S. was complicit.

The killers wore the Iraqi uniform.

A designated terrorist is in a position to warn Iran's Qassem Soleimani of any U.S. Iraqi mission to disrupt IRGC-QF militia operations.

He has access to U.S. intel shared with Iraqi officials.

He has the ability to intimidate & disappear rivals.

He's killed Americans before. His men are in the ranks of the ISF.

His militia is believed responsible for last weeks rocket attack vic the U.S. Embassy

You don't need to have access to intelligence to know he exists.

He has a government office & receives a government paycheck.

He is Abu Mehdi al-Mohandes
