Former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Commander has publicly called for taking thousands of Americans hostage for revenue. The fungible $6 billion payments will be used to fund Putin’s murder of Ukrainians, attacks on Israel, and others targeted by Iranian missiles, drones, and terrorism. Bypassing Congress by conducting secret nuclear agreements without legally required congressional review. Zero sanctions enforcement announcement for months as the regime exports record oil to the Chinese Communist Party. This agreement does nothing to prevent Iran from becoming a hostile nuclear power and is a projection of weakness as dictators are working together to threaten freedom and safety around the world.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:30:18Z |
