And now war is raging in Eastern Europe. And President Joe Biden&#8217;s kowtowing for the last two-and-a-half years to the mullahs in Iran, lifting sanctions, begging them to get back in the Iran nuclear deal, and then paying $6 billion in a ransom for hostages, I think set the conditions for this unprecedented terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding to the CNN host on what he considers the right policy for the regime, Mr. Pence added, &#8220;We put punitive sanctions on them. We got out of the Iran nuclear deal. And from day one of the Biden administration, they have pursued a policy of appeasement toward the mullahs in Iran. And there is no question in my mind that Iran is behind, has subsidized, has approved, and on the last day has even applauded this extraordinary terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel. What we need to be doing is have leadership in the White House that will once again bring a maximum pressure campaign on Iran, and isolate them as never before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFrom day one of the Biden administration, they pursued a policy of appeasement for the Mullahs in Iran.\u201d \u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mike_Pence?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Mike_Pence<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNNSotu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNNSotu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hIotsUwkM5\">pic.twitter.com\/hIotsUwkM5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Team Pence (@TeamPence) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamPence\/status\/1711039041062269400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran Helped Plot Attack on Israel Over Several Weeks<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-43643 size-full\" title=\"wall-street-journal-logo-300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/wall-street-journal-logo-300.jpg\" alt=\"wall-street-journal-logo-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DUBAI\u2014Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas\u2019s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and<br \/>\ngave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior<br \/>\nmembers of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Officers of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land, and sea incursions\u2014the most significant breach of Israel\u2019s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War\u2014those people said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/iran-israel-hamas-strike-planning-bbe07b25\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beware of Experts Collaborating With Tehran<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-268650 size-medium\" title=\"townhall logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/townhall-logo-300x146.png\" alt=\"townhall-logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2014, Ariane Tabatabai \u2013 then a predoctoral fellow at Harvard University \u2013 published an\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/feature\/beware-the-mek-11118\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a>\u00a0which pointedly advised policymakers to \u201cBeware of the MEK.\u201d It repeated serious accusations against the Iranian regime\u2019s principal domestic adversary, the Mojahedin-e Khalq, or People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).
