  • The ruling mullahs of Iran are excited. They are convinced that a new US president, like his previous boss, former President Barack Obama, will throw them the lifeline so badly needed for their survival, their hold on power, and their ability to advance their nuclear and other imperialist plans -- both in Venezuela against the United States, and in the Middle East.
  • Iran's economic conditions have become so dire that even some officials are warning of possible revolt and the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
  • It is important to note that without Iran's financial and military assistance, many militia and terror groups could not survive. As Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, admitted, "... Hezbollah's budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, are from the Islamic Republic of Iran."

One of the best gifts that the ruling mullahs of Iran can receive is if Joe Biden, former Vice-President, becomes president of the United States.
The regime is currently struggling politically and financially. Tehran's economy is on the verge of collapse. Inflation and unemployment rates are at record high levels, and the regime is finding extremely difficult to pay its employees, let alone its more luxurious obligations. Iran's economic conditions have become so dire that even some officials are warning of possible revolt and the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian regime, in short, is in survival mode and -- to maintain its power as its oil exports continue to decline -- in desperate need of cash.
