I've been critizing Joey Xi Bai Dung's and Blinken's foreign policies from the start. China had it eight when the lambasted Blinken in Alaska.

Yang Jiechi’s statements, though pointed, are better viewed through a domestic lens.

But you worship an orange pile of crap who took China's money and gifted them a vanity trade war.

What did Biden do wrong this time?

He's a walking factory of failure.

You know, the sanctions Trump originally put on Iran that Biden took off because Iran was such a nice country. Now that stupid Biden has found out Iran isn't so nice after all, he re-imposes the sanctions he should have never taken off in the first place. Meanwhile, three US troops are dead and dozens are injured who didn't have to be.

Also, Trump would not send humanitarian aid to the Palestinians so they could use the money to attack Israel in the future but as soon as Biden took office he resumed aid to the Palestinians, who promptly used the money to attack Israel.

U.S. Hits Back at Iran With More Than Just Airstrikes

WASHINGTON — In the hours before the United States carried out strikes against Iran-backed militants on Friday, the U.S. hit Iran with more familiar weapons: sanctions and criminal charges. The Biden administration imposed sanctions on officers and officials of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the...

Too late, after 3 years of hundreds of billions of oil revenue funneled into the Iranian Mullah's pockets and by default into groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis hands, as a result of Biden reversing Trump's sanctions against Iran the day Biden took office.

Do you always have to lead with a lie?

Try to act normal for 10 seconds.

Biden administration eyes major rollback in Iran sanctions to revive nuke deal

Any concessions beyond nuclear-specific sanctions would likely be seized upon by Republican critics and others as proof the administration is caving to Iran.

Oh Goodie. Gridiron Joe is really showing Iran his tough side now. Didn't he do the same thing to Russia a couple years ago? And all Russia did was laugh at them.

Just one more country learning fast not to bother anymore trading in US Dollars and banks.

IMO---every move Biden makes now is for the sake of votes---he is willing
to accept votes from ANY SOURCE

...you're both criticizing US foreign policy!

When it's appropriate sure. I'm pretty sure you have criticized US foreign policy before, right? So what you are really saying is that people should only criticize US foreign policy that you approve of as being worthy of criticism. It doesn't work that way.

Sadly, that seems to be the norm for almost all presidents.

That has never happened before in history ....what he is doing is criminal!

Wrong.
The Palestinians are the natives and did not start any attacks.
Israel is not only the obvious aggressor, but has murdered tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians over the last 80 years.
Israel needs to be attacked so that they stop murdering natives and stealing their homes.
Israel now illegally occupies 85% of Palestine.

Wrong. Why are you guys always making up bullshit? Sanctions against countries are completely legal and in many cases warranted. Whether or not they are effective, well that depends.

US sanctions since 1984​

Main article: United States sanctions against Iran
While the Iran–Iraq War, which began in September 1980, was in progress, in 1984, United States sanctions prohibited weapon sales and all U.S. assistance to Iran.

In 1995, in response to the Iranian nuclear program and Iranian support of terrorist organisations, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestine Islamic Jihad, President Bill Clinton issued several executive orders with respect to Iran. Executive Order 12957 of 15 March 1995, banned U.S. investment in Iran's energy sector, and Executive Order 12959 of 6 May 1995, banned U.S. trade with and investment in Iran.

The Iran and Libya Sanctions Act (ILSA) was signed on 5 August 1996 (H.R. 3107, P.L. 104–172).[17] (ILSA was renamed in 2006 the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) when the sanctions against Libya were terminated.[17]) On 31 July 2013, members of the United States House of Representatives voted 400 to 20 in favor of toughened sanctions.[18]

On 8 May 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.[19][20] Following the U.S. withdrawal, the EU enacted an updated blocking statute on 7 August 2018 to nullify US sanctions on countries trading with Iran.[21]

The fourth set of sanctions by the United States came into effect in November 2018; the White House said that the purpose of the sanctions was not regime change, but to make Iran to change its regional policies, stop its support for regional militant groups and end its ballistic missile programme.[22] In September 2019, a U.S. official stated that the United States will sanction whoever deals with Iran or purchases its oil.[23]Also in September 2019, in response to a suspected Iranian attack on key Saudi Arabian oil facilities, Trump said that he directed the Treasury Department to "substantially increase" sanctions on Iran. The new sanctions targeted the Iranian national bank.[citation needed] A senior Trump administration official said the new sanctions targeted the financial assets of the Supreme leader's inner circle.[24] However, according to the New York Times, Tehran has disclaimed playing any part in the attacks that affected the Saudi oil facilities.[25]

On 25 August 2020, the United Nations Security Council blocked the effort of the US to re-impose snapback sanctions on Iran. The President of the UN Security Council, Indonesia's ambassador Dian Triansyah Djani, stated he is "not in a position to take further action" on US's request, citing a lack of consensus in the Security Council on the US strategy as the main reason.[26]

On 20 September 2020, the US asserted that UN sanctions against Iran were back in place, a claim that was rejected by Iran and the other remaining parties to the JCPOA.[27][28] The next day, the United States imposed sanctions on Iranian defence officials, nuclear scientists, the Atomic Energy Agency of Iran and anyone who engaged in conventional arms deals with Iran.[29] On 8 October 2020, the US imposed further sanctions on Iran's financial sector, targeting 18 Iranian banks.[30]

In February 2023, Deutsche Welle, during a report on the increase in Iran's oil exports, claimed that pressuring Iran has diplomatic costs for Washington and will ultimately lead to an increase in oil prices.

They are not innocent civilians. They back militants and allow militants to use their homes, schools, and hospitals to build and store military attack infrastructure.
