While the president brags about his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and throttling its oil exports, its weapons sales to Russia get a pass.
While Donald Trump brags about his “maximum pressure” campaign to impoverish Iran and force its leaders to give up its nuclear program, there remains one source of revenue that the president appears to be OK with: Iran’s sale to Russia of deadly drones, missiles and technical expertise to help slaughter Ukrainian civilians.
Iran has earned at least tens of millions of dollars, perhaps many hundreds of millions, from its agreement to supply weapons to Russia over the past two years. And while that deal drew new sanctions against both countries under former President Joe Biden, it appears to have received no pushback from Trump.
“Not sure why specifically the Trump administration is not making this an issue with Russia,” said Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in its early years after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Who thought he would care?
Trump openly supports Russia, why the fuck would he care?
Why would Putin’s puppet care?
It’s quite funny that he thinks he’ll be remembered as a deal maker even if he didn’t manage to make any deals that actually fixed anything. In reality he will be remembered as a person who was easily used by a foreign state.
Doesn’t want to upset his boss
So the regional theocracy-for-hire ships missiles to the kleptocratic corpse dragging half the world down with it, aimed at the last place still bothering to resist. And the golf course messiah/antichrist? Dead silent, obviously.
Oh no Evil Iran sell weapons to Russian war criminal do something USA and EU even though you are sending free weapon to Israel to kill children and genocide Palestinians…
What I really really hate about your type of people is this attitude of “two wrongs make one right”, this “I don’t care about issue x, because there is issue y and x MUST suffer as long as y suffers!”
Yes, we know Palestine is suffering a crushing genocide. WE KNOW. Now if you can excuse us for just a minute, Ukraine is suffering too and we’d like to give that a second of attention as well, if you’ll allow us?
Iran is already under strict sanctions, what else is there? Pretty sure he’s powerless to do anything about this unless Huffpo is suggesting he should declare war on Iran.
The country is, but the individual members of, say, the IRGC aren’t.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, I think we can all agree it is time to invade Iran.
Please be joking
Israeli want a war with Iran so Zionist would be happy to get US soldiers to fight a useless war.
Yeah, I am sure the guy posting against the Israeli Genocide in Gaza is a Zionist.
Please touch grass.
Huh? Hell no it’s not! You want Iraq 2.0? Because that’s how you get Iraq 2.0.
You want Iraq 2.0?
After Yemen, Syria, and Libya I think we’re closer to Iraq 6.0
Now remember that Iran has almost four times the population of Syria.
And is like 80% mountains.
