Biden claims U.S. President Donald Trump “tossed away a policy that was working to keep America safe.”
Remember the $150 billion in credit & $1.8 billion in unmarked cash?
Even Kerry said, “Some sanctions relief money for Iran will go to terrorism.” https://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/john-kerry-money-iran-sanctions-terrorism/index.html

Biden criticizes Trump for the Europeans not supporting his policies.
These are the same Europeans that always support Obama/Biden’s flawed 2015 nuclear deal & most recent refused to condemn the execution of #NavidAfkari.
Not good company.

Biden vows to “take steps to make sure US sanctions do not hinder Iran's fight against Covid-19.”
This is playing into Iran’s hands by pushing the regime’s talking points.
Facts:
-Medicine is not sanctioned.
-The regime itself is preventing access.

AP responded by publishing the side deal.

On a note, especially for European governments:
Chamberlain appeased Hitler. That did not end well.
Stop your appeasement of Iran’s genocidal mullahs & join the U.S.’ maximum pressure policy.
This is the only language Tehran understands & it's for your own good.

Much of that money fueled global terrorism

And not a single dime was spent on the Iranian people; two thirds live in absolute poverty.
