Yesterday I posted that the Saviz, which is a ship that belongs to Iran, had been attacked in the Red Sea. The ship turns out to be a troop carrier of sorts for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

There is another report out today that says the “Iranian Armed Forces vowed on Thursday that they would respond without any doubt to the targeting of the Saviz ship.” That is pretty much standard rhetoric coming out of the Islamic Republic.

What is interesting though, is that the Iranians are fingering the United States as being at least partly responsible for the attack. This is after the Biden Administration went out of their way to leak intel to the New York Times that said the Israelis did it. According to Major General Abu Al-Fadl Shikaraji, the United States always has a major hand in attacking Iranian interests:

Regarding those who might have a hand in the attack, he replied, “We do not accuse any of the Gulf states of being involved in the incident targeting our ship in the Red Sea.”

“The finger of accusation is hovering around our direct enemies, and what is meant here is Israel and the United States,” he said.

“The United States undoubtedly has a hand in all attempts to undermine and harm Iran,” he added.

Biden has been saying all along that he was not about to cave on sanctions before Iran began to reimplement the original nuclear deal. Keep in mind that he said this as he negotiated 7 billion from the South Koreans to give to the regime. The Iranians, so far have told Biden to pound sand.

It looks like the hard line taken by Iran is starting to pay off. There were signals from the toothless Biden team that they were willing to talk sanctions relief, just not all sanctions. From the Daily Wire:

Democrat President Joe Biden is prepared to remove sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — to resume compliance with the Obama administration’s controversial Iran nuclear deal.

“We are prepared to take the steps necessary to return to compliance with the JCPOA, including by lifting sanctions that are inconsistent with the JCPOA,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters. “I am not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be.”

Iran knows that all they have to do is ignore Biden long enough and they will get everything they want. It leaves the rest of us to wonder exactly why Biden is trying at all. Is the he just looking for a justification to remove sanctions? If that is the case, just own it. Its would be a huge mistake, but at least we can avoid all of the silly “I don’t want you more than you want me” talk. And I think we all know that Obama is the one pushing this from the shadows. He always wanted to be a friend to the terrorists, but we don’t know for sure why.
