We would never intend to characterize what it is that they seek.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Various political figures condemned the Biden administration\u2019s watering-down the Iranian people\u2019s desire for a different government, as The Washington Free Beacon <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/biden-iran-envoy-on-ropes-after-pro-regime-comments\/\">delineated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told the Free Beacon that the \u201cBiden administration is literally invested in the survival of the Iranian regime because the administration wants Iranian oil to make up for the catastrophe they\u2019ve created by attacking American energy producers. That\u2019s why they can\u2019t bring themselves to support the calls by the people of Iran for regime change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Leib, executive director of Iranian Americans for Liberty, echoed to the Free Beacon, \u201cRobert Malley will go down in the history books as the most ineffective and feckless State Department official of the last 50 years. It\u2019s time for him to go. His most recent gaffe on Twitter is just another example of how he has aligned the United States government with the Islamic Republic and not with liberty-seeking Iranian people. His fake apology is not accepted and he should be terminated immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Goldberg, senior adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said bluntly, \u201cSo long as Malley is special envoy, you know the administration\u2019s policy remains offering sanctions relief to the regime in Tehran. If he leaves, it\u2019ll be the first signal of a policy shift away from accommodating the regime and toward helping the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January, three U.S. officials left the team negotiating with Iran because Malley would not take a harder negotiating position regarding sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>As another indication of his soft policy toward world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terrorism, Malley\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/05\/25\/politics\/malley-nuclear-deal-tenuous\/index.html\">told<\/a>\u00a0a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, \u201cThe simple fact is this: as a means of constraining Iran\u2019s nuclear program, the JCPOA was working. Leaving it has not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, Malley has stated, \u201cHezbollah and Hamas, there\u2019s so much misinformation about them. I speak to them and my colleagues speak to them. Now, we may disagree with them but they have their own rationality; that\u2019s the one thing to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are not \u2014 none of them are crazies,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey may do things that we may consider to belong to a different realm of rationality but within their own system, it\u2019s often very logical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is a reason the Obama\/Biden administrations did not push back on Khamenei &#038; Nasrallah\u2019s power across the Middle East.
