Israel experienced a surge of attacks on Saturday from the Hamas militant group, causing widespread devastation and loss of life.
The escalating violence has raised questions about the role of the Biden administration’s Iran Deal in the conflict.
The Biden Administration’s Iran Deal
The Biden administration has been working towards reviving the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
This agreement was originally signed in 2015 by Iran, the United States, China, Russia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
It aimed to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The Impact of the Iran Deal on Israel
Critics of the Iran Deal argue that it poses a significant threat to Israel’s security. They believe that the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen Iranian funds could provide financial support to groups like Hamas, which is known for its hostility towards Israel.
Social media users have taken to platforms like Twitter to express their concerns, blaming the Biden administration’s decision to free up frozen Iranian funds for playing a role in the recent attacks.
Reactions and Opinions
The reactions to the Israel attacks and the perceived connection to the Iran Deal have been varied. Some conservative commentators, such as journalist Amy Mek and author Laura Loomer, directly link the attacks to the funds released to Iran.
They argue that the Islamic attack on Israel is being funded by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
Others, like Afshine Emrani, highlight the timing of the attacks shortly after the release of funds, suggesting a possible connection.
Investigation into the Distribution of Funds
Calls for an investigation into the distribution of the $6 billion released to Iran have also emerged.
Conservative commentator Vince Mansfield urges Republicans in the US House to look into how the funds were distributed, specifically questioning whether any of it went to Hamas prior to the attacks. These demands for transparency aim to shed light on the potential funding of terrorist activities.

The Role of Iran and Hamas
Iran’s support for Hamas is well documented, and critics argue that the Iran Deal indirectly contributes to the aggression against Israel.
Canadian journalist Daniel Boardman points out that Hamas, a terrorist proxy of Iran, is launching a sophisticated and expensive attack on Israel.
He suggests that the Iran Deal has emboldened Iran, allowing it to fund and equip Hamas, ultimately leading to the current conflict.
Criticism of Biden’s Policies
Representative Lauren Boebert and other critics of President Joe Biden’s policies have expressed their dissatisfaction with his handling of the Israel situation.
Boebert criticizes Biden’s decision to direct funds to Palestine, along with the United Nations’ allocation of funds to Palestine. She also highlights the recent $6 billion sent to Iran, emphasizing the negative outcomes that have unfolded saying on X, “What did you think would happen when you sent $6 billion to Iran?”
International Response
The international community has responded to the attacks on Israel, with some countries expressing support for Israel’s right to defend itself. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has stated that the U.S. will ensure that Israel has the necessary resources to protect its citizens. The White House has been contacted for comment on the situation, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
Analysis of U.S. Policy on Iran
Jake Wallis Simons, editor of The Jewish Chronicle, views the recent attack as a failure of Israeli intelligence and a profound indictment of U.S.-led policy on Iran.
He suggests that the U.S.’s appeasement of Iran, exemplified by the flow of billions of dollars into the regime’s coffers, has contributed to the current conflict. Simons argues that the money has boosted Iran’s ability to subvert and dominate the region, resulting in the current situation.
Conclusion
The Israel attacks and the role of the Biden administration’s Iran Deal have sparked a heated debate and intense scrutiny.
Critics argue that the release of funds to Iran indirectly funds groups like Hamas, leading to heightened aggression towards Israel.
The investigation into the distribution of funds and the international response further highlight the complexities surrounding this issue.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains crucial to assess the long-term implications of U.S. policy on Iran and its impact on regional security.
