Biden wants to give iran 17 billion, who will buy weaponry from North Korea, to sell back to the Russian army

[kyzr]

Why did Trump allow Iran to restart their nuclear program after Obama got them to abandon it?

1. Obama never got Iran to abandon it dumbass. They had to wait 10-years from 2015. Times up, duh.
Trump imposed massive sanctions on Iran. Neither option would have worked. The question is what happens if/when Iran tests their nuclear weapon?
Here's a good article summarizing the situation.

What Most People Get Wrong About the Iran Nuclear Deal

It ensured that even in the worst-case scenario, Iran would be proliferating from a lower baseline.

2. Can you justify Biden's gift of $17b to Iran? (if the OP is accurate)

Because he was a viable target..or maybe he was listening to Bolton?
One dead terrorist user..ironically killed in a drone strike..does not phase me too much.
I wonder...if Iran-sponsored terrorism went down..like..did they get the message?

There's probably less of that than claimed. That general was behind attacks/harassment of merchant marines.

It helped negotiate the Afghanistan withdrawal, though.

If Israel and/or the US don't reduce their infrastructure into rubble first, maybe.
There's a line that...as regards working nukes, Iran does not want to cross.

Will Israel Attack Iran? Here’s What to Know

“Diplomacy can only work if it's coupled with a credible military threat,” says Netanyahu.

Early this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a mock wartime meeting of his security cabinet in a bunker. Communities in northern Israel are preparing shelters for a long-term conflict. And the military is working overtime on a new laser system to intercept rockets.
Their focus is Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
For years, Israel has considered a nuclear-armed Iran to be an existential threat, and directed its energies to confronting it and its regional proxies in Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinian areas.
But much is new in the past few months. Iran has emerged from diplomatic isolation, forging a key military alliance with Russia from which it’s seeking air defenses, restoring diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia and pushing its allies to fire missiles at Israel. It is also enriching more and more uranium, including a small amount almost to weapons grade — while denying any plans for making a bomb.
All of these developments, along with a political crisis in Israel triggered by Netanyahu’s attempt to overhaul the judiciary, have pushed the government in Jerusalem into a position from which it’s issuing daily warnings and letting everyone know that it would not hesitate to act, even alone, if it felt enough of a threat from Iran.

You're on to something important. Iran never did want a war with America.

The question of Iran seeking nuclear weapons is not an easy question. But in the least they know that they must fall under the protective wing of a nuclear superpower. That is practically accomplished now.

And Israel does not dare to strike Iran.

America/Israel aggression against Iran is no longer on the table. It happened while you were sleeping in bed with the Ukraine.

Historically, Israel..dares much--when it thinks existentially.

It's unlikely that even America could coerce Israel into striking Iran now.

What could Israel offer to the war against Russia, militarily?

And how could Israel last more than a week under steady bombardment from Iran?

Iran has already committed to the Brics alliance and has become an ally of Russia. Israel wants no part in that war!

The Brics isn't a military alliance against America and they don't want to be that. But they 'do' understand that a nuclear deterrent is absolutely essential.
