President Biden recently noted that when autocrats do not quote, pay a price for their aggression, end quote, it only emboldens their behavior.

Administrations here in the U.S. have long justified sending military assistance to Azerbaijan on the basis of the supposed utility in the containment of Russia and Iran.

This entire situation goes well beyond the $6 billion in unfrozen assets that were part of a hostage negotiation deal brokered by this Administration.

The only rational, reasonable thing to do is void that agreement and refreeze the $6 billion in funds.

I railed against this $6 billion in unfrozen assets back in August, back on September 11th...

We know Iran has backed Hamas and Hezbollah for years. We know Iran's stated intent is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
