The question remains why does Biden continue to tiptoe around Iran? Yes, the US supported Israel in repelling the Iranian attack in April, but Biden prevented Israel from meaningful retaliation, has provided Irans billions of dollars in sanctions relief, failed to confront the proxy Houthis as they attacked maritime traffic, tacitly consented to Iran’s race to nuclear weapons, and, of course, has been a roadblock to an Israeli victory over Hamas, an Iranian proxy.

It’s actually pretty obvious, why both Obama and Biden tiptoe around Iran. They do not want another war in the Middle East that the U.S. is involved in.

As Iran gains more power & seeks to exert even greater influence, that war will come whether the U.S. wants it or not. Cut off the head of the snake before it has nuclear fangs.

That is correct unless the Iranian regime gets toppled somehow and something more tolerable replaces it, which is no guarantee.

Thank you for some history and perspective. I just wish that everyone would be willing to learn facts rather than blindly assigning blame.

I totally agree, it is a refusal by Hamas to recognise their violence and blood lust. However I don’t understand why Biden makes this statement and the Israeli Prime Minister says nothing! This so called new deal, looks exactly the same as the most recent one. Hamas rejected that. I agree that Iran is despicable and I can’t understand why the world has not demanded that all hostages are released!
