Iran has apparently decided that the Biden administration is the perfect time to pull out all the stops and ramp up its efforts against the United States, and what better way to do that than with some good old-fashioned assassination plots and cyberattacks? The latest antics include schemes that allegedly target GOP nominee Donald Trump, indicating that Iran has really taken the gloves off while the Democrats are in charge.
A prime example is the case of Abouzar Rahmati, who is accused of acting as a spy for the Iranian regime while working as a contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration. His background with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps—a group so notorious it’s on the U.S. terrorist watch list—didn’t raise any red flags when he applied. Apparently, lying about past affiliations is just a standard procedure for getting a government job these days. Rahmati allegedly downloaded sensitive documents and sent them off to Iran, like one might send a postcard from a holiday trip, except instead of “Wish you were here,” it’s more of a “Here’s how to mess with U.S. air traffic.”

The Biden administration’s efforts—or lack thereof—to manage the threat from Iran have many scratching their heads. Critics argue that by loosening the financial reins on Tehran, they have only encouraged more brazen acts of hostility. Sure, let’s give Iran more cash in hope of positive outcomes; history has shown that doing so always works out splendidly. In fact, it’s simply a mystery why Iran would feel emboldened when they’re sitting on a mountain of fresh cash and a green light to plot sinister activities.
The situation escalated to alarming levels when intelligence surfaced about potential assassination attempts targeting Trump. National security experts must be kicking themselves for not catching this sooner, but the question remains—are the Democrats focused on the right issues, or are they too busy crafting their next campaign slogan? After all, why not take a little time to investigate homegrown challenges instead of focusing on external threats, especially when they involve characters from the world of terror?
And while we’re talking about brazen attempts to meddle in the U.S. political sphere, let’s not forget the Iranian hacking attempts targeting both Trump’s campaign and even Joe Biden’s. It seems everyone in the political game is on Iran’s radar, which speaks loudly about their mission against American democracy. Sources reveal that certain campaigns received unwelcome guests—hackers from Iran who seemed to have taken a crash course in American politics and spying.
As if the assassination attempts and cyber mishaps weren’t enough, the Biden administration has employed experts who have troubling ties to Iranian initiatives, turning caution into sheer incredulity. How does one remain oblivious when your aides have clear connections to entities intended to advance Iranian interests? It raises eyebrows and some serious questions about the administration’s long-term strategies in dealing with threats, or more specifically the glaring lack of effective action against them. With all these fronts heating up, the time for serious repercussions for Iran is long overdue—if only those in charge could be bothered to prioritize national security over partisan politics.
