The Democrats Support for Iran
By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst
WASH—Apr 1—KIN--Follow the money and the story starts to write itself. During the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Obama administration unlocked tens of billions in sanctions relief for Iran, alongside a now-infamous $1.7 billion cash transfer. Barack Obama sold it as a pathway to stability. Critics warned it would bankroll aggression. Years later, even former nuclear watchdog officials acknowledged Iran accelerated enrichment capacity despite the agreement. The logic wasn’t complicated. Money is fungible. When a regime receives a financial windfall, it reallocates its own resources. In Iran’s case, that meant missiles, proxies, and nuclear capability. You don’t subsidize a fire and act surprised when it spreads.
Fast forward and the pattern didn’t reverse, it deepened. Under Joe Biden, billions more flowed through eased enforcement, indirect funding channels, and restored financial access. There were billions sent to Iran, along with hundreds of millions routed toward Hamas-linked structures, strengthening the same network and now destabilizing the region. That’s not theory, it’s consequence. Iran didn’t invest in schools or infrastructure. It invested in influence, weapons, and terror. The regime publicly calls America the “Great Satan” while benefiting from American policy decisions from people like Obama, Biden and the Democratic Party leadership. That disconnect isn’t strategy, or is it? It’s at least willful blindness dressed up as diplomacy.
Now we land in the present conflict. Donald Trump supports direct action alongside Israel to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capability and its terror apparatus. Meanwhile, prominent Democrats oppose the effort, question the strategy, and in some cases undermine it publicly. That raises a hard question. If prior policies helped enable Iran’s rise, and current opposition resists stopping it, what exactly is the endgame? Because it doesn’t read as neutral. It reads as alignment, whether intentional or not, with outcomes that benefit Iran and, by extension, its partners in Russia and China. Geopolitics doesn’t reward confusion. It exploits it.
This is an incredible gaslighting by the Democratic Party leadership and their lapdog mainstream media. They are advocating and making policies that empower a threat, followed by opposition to stopping that same threat, all while insisting on the moral high ground. Americans are expected to accept the spin while ignoring the results. But outcomes matter. Leadership matters. Proverbs 1:32 cuts through the fog: “For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.” When leaders fund danger and then resist confronting it, the cost lands on everyone else. That’s not just bad policy. It’s a warning. And history has a way of collecting on those warnings. Accepting this spin as beneficial and true is, say it with me, Stupidocrisy.
