The Biden administration's policies have been enabling Iran's continued regional assertiveness and nuclear advancement, according to a recent report by the Gatestone Institute.

The report, titled "The Obama and Biden Administrations: Paving the Way for a Nuclear-Armed Iran," highlights the Biden administration's series of policies favorable to Iran, which have significantly strengthened the regime.

The report notes that Iran and its proxies are now actively engaged in a comprehensive war against Israel, the Sunni Arab Gulf States, and US troops in the region.

The Biden administration's passive approach of trying to bribe Iran into compliance has backfired, with Iran using the billions it received to finance several wars in the region, including Hamas and Hezbollah's war against Israel, the Houthis' war against Israel and the US, and Iran's own missile- and drone-attack against Israel.


The report also notes that the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" policy aimed at curtailing Iran's economic capabilities was highly effective in significantly slashing Iran's oil revenues, a major source of funding for the regime.

The report concludes that the leniency and strategic missteps of both the Obama and Biden administrations have critically undermined global non-proliferation efforts, bringing the world to the current situation where Iran stands about to become a nuclear-armed state.

The report's author, Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, is a business strategist and advisor, Harvard-educated scholar, political scientist, board member of Harvard International Review, and president of the International American Council on the Middle East. He has authored several books on Islam and US Foreign Policy.
