It looks like President Joe Biden and the normalization crowd just ran into the Ayatollah in a dark alley and had to empty their pockets.<\/p>\n<p>How else to explain the recent change in tone from the administration and its allies? White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/defense\/3693086-white-house-says-iran-lying-about-selling-kamikaze-drones-to-russia\/\">told reporters<\/a> Monday, &#8220;The door for diplomacy will always remain open, but as of now we don\u2019t see a deal coming together anytime soon.&#8221; Those remarks followed Iran envoy Robert Malley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/news\/world\/2022-10-17\/ty-article\/.premium\/iran-nuclear-deal-not-even-on-the-agenda-amid-protests-u-s-envoy-says\/00000183-e746-da05-a7ab-eff6e5940000\">indication that<\/a> a return to the 2015 nuclear deal is not on the agenda right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shocker. Biden and the Europeans have pretended for nearly two years that this gang of terrorists could be brought to heel through diplomacy. Backed by the scientific consensus of elite liberal opinion, the policy heavyweights in the Biden administration were certain that the same regime that murders teenage girls in Tehran was capable of hashing out a deal in Vienna on uranium enrichment levels\u2014and keeping its word.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Imagine what the world would look like now if the Biden administration had gotten its wish. Billions of dollars in cash flowing to Iran as the ayatollahs simultaneously sell hundreds of millions, if not billions, in weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre, the White House flack, also assured reporters Monday that the White House &#8220;will continue to confront Iran\u2019s behavior in the region.&#8221; What, exactly, is the evidence of that? Furthermore, it would be nice to know what the White House plans to do about Iran\u2019s malign behavior beyond the region, as the country now fuels the conflict in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Former president Barack Obama was barking up the right tree when he told his former lackeys at <em>Pod Save America<\/em> a few days ago that\u2014oops!\u2014he should have publicly backed the Green Movement in 2009. &#8220;In retrospect I think that was a mistake,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;Every time we see a flash, a glimmer of hope, of people longing for freedom, I think we have to \u2026 shine a spotlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Iranian regime is shaken by a protest movement fueled by those who\u2019ve never known a life other than that controlled by the mullahs and their henchmen in the Revolutionary Guard, it is worth reflecting on the wrongheadedness and abject stupidity of the advocates for normalization with this grotesque regime.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe post A Eulogy for the Iran Nuclear Deal appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":924415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1703950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1703950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/924415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1703950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1703950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1703950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
