Miranda Devine: Trump must reverse Biden's Iran appeasement and make the mullahs 'broke again'
Briefly

President Trump communicated with Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, advocating for a deal to stop nuclear weapon development. With intensified sanctions from the Biden administration, Iran is pressured again, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized the country's shadowy financial networks supporting its oil exports. Under Trump's presidency, significant sanctions depleted Iran's resources, whereas Biden's administration has eased sanctions and revived the nuclear deal, shocking those who prioritize US energy prices over confronting Iranian aggression and nuclear ambitions.
Making Iran Broke Again has a nice ring to it. After four years of shady appeasement by the Biden administration, Iran's bloodthirsty regime is under pressure again - and just in the nick of time, before it finesses its nuclear weapons capability.
Iran has developed a complex shadow network of financial facilitators and black-market oil shippers via a ghost fleet to sell oil, petrochemical and other commodities to finance its exports and generate hard currency.
When Donald Trump left office in 2021, Iran was on its knees. Savage sanctions aimed at strangling Iran's nuclear enrichment program and funding of terrorists had reduced Iran's oil exports to a trickle.
Biden and his handlers were so fixated on winning re-election that nothing mattered except maintaining high global oil supplies so they could keep a lid on soaring US gas prices.
