Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn joined Newsmax host Eric Bolling on The Balance Wednesday night to discuss the alarming rate at which Iran is now funding terrorist groups in the Middle East.
Blackburn says Iran has “picked up the pace” under President Biden.
“I am deeply concerned about what we see happening with Iran and how they have picked up the pace for funding terrorism,” Blackburn told Bolling.
“What Biden did was to remove the Trump sanctions that prevented Iran from going back to producing oil and selling it,” she said. “Under Trump, they would produce as few as 100 barrels of oil a day. Now, they’re up to 3 million barrels of oil a day, and they’re bringing in $1 billion a week in profit.
“This is what is supercharging their work. And what do they spend their money on? Trying to enrich uranium so they can develop nuclear warheads and on funding terrorism. … They give Hamas and Hezbollah each $100 million per year.”
“What terrorists do is respond to weakness,” Blackburn said. “That emboldens them. A strong America, a strong Israel makes it more difficult for Iran to do their dirty deeds.”
