The Biden-Harris administration finds itself in quite the pickle, facing increasing tensions with Iran while trying to maintain a façade of competence in foreign policy. With international relations resembling a game of Jenga, every little wobble could send the entire structure crashing down. Striving for a friendlier approach to Tehran, they have been accused of “appeasing” the regime rather than maintaining strength. As Israel battles proxy forces fueled by Iranian aggression, Harris is now scrambling to defend an increasingly shaky record on foreign affairs.
Unlike the previous administration, which adopted a more hawkish stance, Biden and Harris have sought to rekindle the infamous Iran Nuclear Deal, clearly accustomed to making deals with those who could be described as “not exactly the best of friends.” In an attempt to court the heavily Islamic Democratic constituency in Michigan, a crucial battleground, there’s a strong whiff of desperation in the air. Unfathomably, Harris finds herself at the helm, dodging criticism and attempting to balance while dancing on a tightrope—a performance even seasoned circus acts would envy.
Harris now on defensive over her, Biden’s foreign policy as Israel, Iran appear headed toward war

The situation has turned dramatic, as Iranian proxies escalate attacks on American interests, stirring chaos across the Middle East. Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s ambitious agenda to revive sanctions relief is bound to hand Tehran a treasure trove—about $70 billion worth—helping them further fund their troublesome escapades. Despite the sanctions talk, the Biden team has managed to provide Iran with the resources it needs to engage in regional confrontations, dramatically heightening tensions.
It’s not just a re-run of a bad foreign policy movie; the implications can be felt from the U.S. southern border to the streets of American cities. Crime rates rise and security remains compromised as porous borders allow not just common criminals, but also potential terrorists to slip through the cracks. With whispers of Iranian operatives possibly infiltrating the U.S., former officials are sounding alarms, urging citizens to take note of just how ill-prepared the Biden administration appears to be.
As the ticking clock approaches the upcoming debate on September 10, it becomes increasingly clear that Harris will have her hands full defending a legacy overshadowed by controversial decisions. With rumblings of sympathy for groups like Hamas echoing among conservative critics, she stands at a crossroads—disavow the left-leaning elements of her party or risk losing a vital voter base. Balancing precariously on that tightrope, one has to wonder if the vice president will stick the landing or crash spectacularly, leaving her foreign policy aspirations in ruins.
