Some have questioned why U.S. intelligence agencies did not have prior warning of Iran-backed Hamas' terrorist attack against Israel last weekend.
Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax on Thursday it's possible the U.S. was caught off guard because the Biden administration doesn't view Iran as such a threat in the Middle East, even though Tehran is widely regarded as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
President Joe Biden has been trying to revive a nuclear deal with Iran reached by Barack Obama — he served as Obama's vice president — that the U.S. pulled out of during the Trump administration. Since Biden took office, the U.S. has relaxed oil export sanctions on Iran, allowing Tehran to reap $80 billion, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The Biden administration has been scrambling in recent days to say not a dime of the $6 billion, held by Qatari banks, has been spent.
