House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has come out against President Joe Biden’s decision to provide a $6 billion handout to Iran’s terrorist regime. McCaul is concerned that this money will be used to carry out attacks on Americans, as well as future kidnappings. He believes that while the Americans held by Iran should be released immediately, the waiver of sanctions to transfer funds to Iran creates an incentive for America’s adversaries to engage in hostage-taking. McCaul finds it particularly troubling that this decision is happening during the week of the 9/11 anniversaries and while Iran is harboring the leader of Al Qaeda. He sees the administration’s weakness as a threat to Americans and freedom-loving people worldwide.

McCaul is also drawing attention to Iran’s ongoing nuclear violations. International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Mariano Grossi has indicated that Iran is pursuing nuclear enrichment for non-peaceful purposes. McCaul argues that the international community’s failure to hold Iran accountable for these violations undermines global non-proliferation efforts. He believes that the Biden administration should declare Iran non-compliant and refer its nuclear violations to the U.N. Security Council for punishment. McCaul insists that Iran’s nuclear escalation cannot go unpunished.
