Has Obama Underwritten Iran’s Increasing Aggression?

2016-10-13

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Last night, an American warship off of Yemen fired cruise missiles in retaliation for several previous missile attacks by Iranian-backed rebels aimed at another U.S. vessel operating in the area. It appears that we may have paid for both our missiles and those used by the Houthi insurgents. If so, it would be just the latest, ominous repercussion of Barack Obama’s disastrous nuclear “deal” with Iran.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that lawmakers led by Senators Ted Cruz and Kelly Ayotte have raised the issue with the Pentagon – which was blindsided by Team Obama’s decision to give the Iranians $1.7 billion in cash. The legislators want to know whether some of that ransom money has, predictably, fueled the mullahs’ increasingly well-armed and aggressive behavior towards American naval forces and personnel.

Either way, worse will be forthcoming from Obama’s Iran “legacy.”
