“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

        Why? Iran benefits from American hostility. External foes help silence domestic dissent.

          I watched a video recently that indicated under Biden, the state department has worked to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and the Israel. They went on to say that Iran supports or even outright funds Hamas, Hezbolla, and a number of other paramilitary groups in the area so they can maintain anti-west sentiment, to prevent an erosion of their regional influence.

          Which is to say - a U.S. that’s embroiled in a culture war with a president that has disassembled the state department is ideal for Iran.
