The president of the United States should announce that he will give the Islamic Republic of Iran exactly one hour to secure from its terrorist puppets, Hamas and Hezbollah, a total cessation of hostilities against Israel.

If this does not occur, after 61 minutes, the $6 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets that Joe Biden recently transferred to a Qatari bank will be shifted therefrom and wired posthaste to the Israel Defense Forces. Specific purpose: to repel Hamas’ brutal, unprovoked, surprise attack; avenge Hezbollah’s follow-on assaults, and exterminate every member of both terror groups within reach of the IDF and Mossad.
So long as Hamas and Hezbollah continue to wage war on Israel, all Iranian assets that remain frozen will be thawed at the rate of $1 billion per day and transmitted to Israel until the Iranian-financed kidnappings, rockets, and murders stop wounding and killing Israelis.
Such a hard-headed policy would begin to reverse the Neville Chamberlain–grade appeasement that Biden has offered Iran since he took power.
Biden’s $6 billion gift to the ayatollahs is the least of it, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox News host Trey Gowdy Sunday night.
“The policies of this administration have enriched Iran by $60 billion,” Ratcliffe explained, “by lifting the restrictions that the Trump administration had imposed, by not enforcing sanctions, and by allowing Iranian oil to increase by 650 percent, Iran’s access to foreign-exchange reserves went from $4 billion in the Trump administration to $72 billion in the Biden administration. It’s that type of wealth that Iran is using to fund their proxies, like Hamas, like Hezbollah.”
Biden also has defibrillated the disastrous Iran nuke deal, which is little more than a burqa thrown over Tehran’s atomic ambitions.
Biden gave Tehran access to $6 billion as a bonus tied to an exchange of five American and five Iranian detainees. The Trump administration freed 58 Americans held overseas and did so without paying anyone a nickel in ransom. Biden handed Iran five of its people plus $1.2 billion per American released.

Joe Biden, the $6 Billion Man, made this money available to the ayatollahs, never mind Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s stunning admission on Sunday’s Meet the Press: “Iran has, unfortunately, always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism, on supporting groups like Hamas. And it’s done that when there have been sanctions. It’s done that when there haven’t been sanctions. And it’s always prioritized that.”
What a concession!
If Iran “always used and focused its funds” on terrorists, including Hamas, then why the hell did Biden grant even a dollar bill to a nation that Blinken’s very own State Department designates as Earth’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism?
Beyond what these billions can buy, Biden’s supplying this money sends the message: “Keep up the great work,” despite Iran’s constant message: “Death to America.” Add the fact that Biden has yet to host Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the White House, and the result is a martini shaker full of nitroglycerine.
Don’t you worry about a thing, Blinken tried to comfort NBC’s Kristen Welker yesterday. “When any money is spent from that account, it can only be used for medical supplies, for food, for medicine.”
Blinken and his boss evidently do not understand the word “fungible.”
“Tehran is unlikely to announce that it just wired $6 billion to Hamas, earmarked for fresh artillery attacks from the Gaza Strip onto Israeli Kindergartens,” I predicted on Sept. 20. “The ayatollahs likelier would take $6 billion, channel it into the Iranian equivalent of Food Stamps, and then transfer it from the al-Food Stamps account into the Revolutionary Guard budget. From there, those funds could go anywhere and do anything.”
Here’s what “anything” looks like:
While Biden arranged his $6 billion bequest, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, “Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.”
The Journal added, “Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions” against Israel.
The rats’ onslaught began on shabbat, normally a time of shalom.
“This is the worst attack on Israel since the Yom Kippur War in 1973, almost exactly 50 years ago,” Blinken said on Meet the Press, perhaps with his naïve eyes finally propped open with toothpicks. “This is a massive terrorist attack targeting Israeli civilians, gunning people down in the streets of their towns, gunning them down in their homes, dragging Israelis, men, women, and children, across the border with Gaza, a Holocaust survivor in a wheelchair, women and children all being taken hostage.”
Israelis at an outdoor concert were startled by explosions and then ran for their lives as invading Gazans shot them to death. These terrorist scum murdered 260 music fans. Who does that?
At this writing, nine Americans have been murdered. Others apparently are being held by Hamas at gunpoint, somewhere inside Gaza’s ant farm of tunnels and crevices.
This savagery is the handiwork of Hamas and is sponsored — at least fungibly — by a giant wad of cash dropped into the mullahs’ laps by Joseph Robinette Biden. America’s reputed leader expressed his gravitas by making no public appearances on Sunday. Instead, as Time magazine’s Brian Bennett reported, Biden and the first lady hosted a Rose Garden barbecue, with a live band, for the White House Executive Residence staffers and their families.
As for humanitarian aid, if Biden is desperate to ply the beleaguered Iranian people with Band-Aids and powdered milk, then just sent them Band-Aids and powdered milk. Those items cannot be converted into Jew-hating bombs. Cash can.
The ayatollahs need to hear this message at once: Muzzle your anti-Israel dogs, or watch Israel slaughter them with your own dollars.
