General Amir Ali Hajizadeh reecently called out ineffective U.S. foreign policy during a broadcast on Iran\u2019s Noor TV. This comes as the deadline closes in for Joe Biden to restart negotiations on the failed nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the enemy had had the power and ability to stop these things, it would have done so,\u201d stated the Iranian general. \u201cWhy is the enemy begging us? Wherever the enemy can do these things rather than beg, it does so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hajizadeh\u2019s comments followed a U.S. bombing in Syria, which resulted in IRGC bomb squad casualties. He also said he hopes one day the tables will turn, so Iran could impose sanctions on the U.S.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iranian General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh: America Has Never Been the Friend of Iran \u2013 It Has Been Our Enemy and Will Remain Our Enemy; We Can Bring the Day When Iran Can Impose Sanctions on Them <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IRGC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IRGC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JCPOA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JCPOA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c2XgekfWE9\">pic.twitter.com\/c2XgekfWE9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MEMRI (@MEMRIReports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MEMRIReports\/status\/1411961042259910657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Critics are now accusing the Biden administration of wasting diplomatic leverage as they continue to lift sanctions on Iran despite the country continuing to ramp up uranium enrichment efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In early June, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/biden-administration-lifts-sanctions-on-more-than-dozen-former-iranian-officials-energy-firms-11623347091\">the Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> the U.S. lifted sanctions on various Iranian officials and national Iranian oil companies, seemingly in an effort to both improve the price of oil and regain momentum on stalled nuclear agreement talks in Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>With recent U.S. airstrikes against Iranian backed militias along the Iraqi-Syrian border, the White House is demonstrating it\u2019s hard power action against the Ayatollah regime. Experts are now questioning whether the hard power actions on Iran\u2019s proxies are enough to regain ground-lost to Iran as economic sanctions continue to be lifted.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s appeasement and lifting of the sanctions ultimately is aimed at getting Iran to stop increasing uranium enrichment levels. On Tuesday, however, Iran informed the United Nations nuclear watchdog that they will be enriching uranium to 20 percent for nuclear reactor energy fuel.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is: nuclear reactor fuel only requires a 3 to 5 percent enrichment, not 20. The only reason Iran would enrich to 20 percent is because they are on their way to achieving the 90 percent enrichment needed for weapons grade uranium.<\/p>\n<p>Even Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned early in June that Iran\u2019s nuclear weapon breakout time is only getting closer.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blinken: Iran nuclear program &#039;galloping forward&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x9FBPpW9TqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>As it sits right now, the Biden administration continues to lift sanctions on Iran though their nuclear program seems to still be moving full steam ahead.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/9-key-oecd-members-reject-bidens-global-tax-plan\/\">9 Key OECD Members Reject Biden\u2019s \u2018Global Tax\u2019 Plan<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this photo released Thursday, Feb. 7, 2019, by Sepahnews, the website of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, chief of the Guard\u2019s aerospace division, left, explains the Dezful &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2314149,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"Biden lifts economic sanctions on Iran hoping they will stop enriching uranium","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_video_url":"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=x9FBPpW9TqI","fifu_image_alt":"Biden lifts economic sanctions on Iran hoping they will stop enriching uranium","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584967","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\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
