The Biden administration finally admits the obvious.
Who is funding the pro-Hamas riots in major cities? The state sponsors of Hamas in Tehran.
After failing to mention it in previous briefings, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines finally issued a press release admitting that “Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza” by “posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.”
Haines, a veteran of the Obama and Biden administrations, then went out of her way to defend participants in the pro-Hamas movement even though they are working with America’s enemies.
“I know Americans who participate in protests are, in good faith, expressing their views on the conflict in Gaza,” she argued. “Americans who are being targeted by this Iranian campaign may not be aware that they are interacting with or receiving support from a foreign government.”
That problem could be easily addressed if Haines revealed the names that the Iranian campaign operates under and which pro-Hamas groups or individuals are benefiting from the money.
Especially since doing business with the Iranian government is illegal without special exemptions. If Americans are taking money from the Iranian government, they’re committing a crime. And if they don’t know the source of the money, shouldn’t the U.S. government warn them that they’re unintentionally breaking the law? So why is Haines still keeping quiet?
Iran’s support for the pro-Hamas movement is no secret. The terrorist regime in Tehran has declared its support for the terror riots and even sanctioned’ the Chief of the University of Florida Police Department and other law enforcement personnel for interfering with the terrorists.
“Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history. You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front,” Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had declared, openly taking credit for the pro-Hamas movement.
The term “Resistance Front” is used to refer to Iran’s international network of terrorist groups including Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and others. (Iran doesn’t officially list Al Qaeda as part of this network, which does include other Sunni Muslim Brotherhood groups like Hamas, but the current leader of Al Qaeda is based out of Tehran.) By naming the Hamas protesters as part of the “Resistance Front”, Iran was including them alongside Hamas and Hezbollah, whose flags have been waved at the riots, as one of the terror fronts that it funds and controls.
During a terrorist conference, IRGC Chief Commander Hossein Salami, a leader of Iran’s international terrorist network, boasted that “the resistance is so grand, beautiful, and captivating that its attractions have penetrated even into the universities of the US.”
Iranian universities organized solidarity protests praising the Hamas encampments complete with chants of ‘Death to America!’ ‘Death to Israel!’ and ‘Death to the Jewish oppressors!’
An Iranian university offered free tuition for students protesting in support of Islamic terrorism.
Kayhan, a major Iranian regime newspaper, wrote that “every student from Harvard, MIT, Boston, Columbia, Emerson, Texas, and so forth has become an Iranian student” and celebrated, “this is what we call exporting the Islamic Revolution!”
Foad Izadi, a professor at Tehran University who is listed as affiliated with the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, boasted that the Hamas supporters on college campuses were “our people”.
“If tensions between America and Iran rise tomorrow or the day after, these are the peoples who will have to take to the streets to support Iran,” he told an interviewer. “Personally, I think that the potential to repeat in the U.S. what Iran did in Lebanon is much higher. Our Hizbullah-style groups in America are much larger than what we have in Lebanon.”
The Iranian regime has done everything possible to take responsibility for the Hamas riots. After months of it, the Biden administration has tentatively gotten around to admitting the obvious.
Why is the Biden administration covering up Iran’s role in the Hamas campus riots?
The protesters and rioters are almost universally members of the administration’s leftist political base. And the administration has gone to great lengths to defend them. Like Haines, Biden and Kamala both praised the Hamas rioters as being motivated by the best possible intentions.
The Hamas rioters “are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza,” Kamala recently told The Nation: an extremist magazine whose writers have championed the riots and denied Hamas atrocities. Kamala sounded like Iran’s Khamenei.
And the Biden administration has played a major role in enriching the Iranian regime.
Iran has benefited from tens of billions in sanctions relief. That money allowed it to build up allied terror groups like Hamas in Israel, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. The US Navy has been battling the Houthis for months on the high seas because of those billions.
The dozens of Americans killed in Israel by Hamas and others who may die in a war with Hezbollah can be attributed to the Biden administration’s extensive sanctions relief to Iran.
And it’s likely that the sanctions relief also freed up money used to interfere in our election.
In her Senate testimony, Haines implied that Iran was interfering in the coming elections. We already know that Iran interfered on behalf of the Democrats in the 2020 election.
The IRGC had previously engaged in a “cyber-enabled disinformation and threat campaign designed to influence the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election” through a false flag operation by Iranian operatives pretending to be conservatives sending emails to “tens of thousands of registered voters” in Florida that threatened them “with physical injury if they did not change their party affiliation and vote for President Trump.”
The Iranian operatives organizing and funding Hamas riots in America may be the same ones trying to swing the 2024 presidential election to the Biden-Harris ticket.
That’s why the Biden administration doesn’t want to talk about them.

Saying iran has “opportunistically taken advantage” is ridiculous. iran is behind the riots and lawbreaking, just as iran is behind hamas, hzbollah, the houthis, and any other they can influence or control.
iran denies they had anything to do with the murder attempt on Mr. Trump. Perhaps they need to be reminded of their spy guy/hit person caught some months ago, and their spies in the state dept who inform them of anything and everything that will help them takeover the U.S. as they intend to do.

Concerning the American Universities and Colleges across the United States that have heads of those institutions ‘sold out” to the influence of the stealth jihadists, who are, no doubt, backed Shiite Iran and also by some Sunnie Islamic countries
Therefore, those places of “higher education” which have become more of indoctrination centers for Islam and Islamic causes rather than genuine places of advanced education.
This is betrayal of all those young people who entered into those universities and colleges who sincerely wanted a actual, real, education. This is also betrayal the true spirit of America.
For example the former United States President, William Howard Taft, who in a speech, wisely, declared, “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Furthermore there should really no place in America for such un-American indoctrination centers, therefore such universities and colleges need to reform or closed down, For those places are now doing more harm than good.
As the other former US President Theodore Roosevelt, had, rightly, announced in a speech that “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Walter Sieruk says
As a result of Iran stealth jihad interference a large and terrible number of American universities and colleges across the United States are very anti -Jewish and likewise anti-Israel. Therefore those institutions of “higher education” are ,in essence, very un-American
This is a very clear reminder that the former President, William Howard Taft, in a speech ,rightly and wisely, declared, “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.
Walter Sieruk says
Iran’s top Muslim cleric leader, Ayatollah Khamenei,is ,without doubt ,is very happy and glad those in high positions in institutions of “higher education” brainwashed and manipulated those poor naive and misinformed college young people to be his useful idiots to attempt to fulfill that Islamic goal of destroying the State of Israel and then replacing her with an Islamic “state.”
Another terrible harsh and tragic reality is that Khamenei,couldn’t care less about those American college people who he only uses as his stooges. that Ayatollah ,because of his religion shiite Islam even dislikes those non-Muslim youth who are his tools and he even hate those Sunni Muslims who are also they his tools.
Those college young people who have been led astray deceived and are now being used should not be scorned but instead they should be pitied.
Walter Sieruk says
Iran supplies Hamas with deadly weapons therefore that airstrike was an appropriate and right thing to do.
Furthermore Hamas should be dealt with defeated and even destroyed is to hit it hard , hit it long and keep on hitting it with strong powerful forceful military strikes until it’s unable to raise up again with its ugly , vicious and deadly jihad Islamic head.
As its been wisely said, “Half measures in war is folly and madness.”
Walter Sieruk says
That hostile and vicious Islamic regime of Iran even supplies deadly weapons to those murderous jihad entities Hamas and Hezbollah.
Therefore it’s should be made known that if the founder of the current Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini would still be alive today ,he would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.”
For as Ayatollah Khomeini had clearly announced that “Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….There are hundreds psalms and hadiths urging of Muslims to value war and to fight. …I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1] So if he was alive today who would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.” [1]
There are also many places in the Qu ‘ran that instruct in violence and killing for the cause of Islam.
As found in ,for example Surah 2:191. 4:89.. 5:33. 9:5, 111,112 ,123. 47:4.
Those jihadists operatives of that Islamic regime of Iran in the different Western countries will not lose interest in their insidious dangerous strategic scheming against the nations of the West.

If an Iranian university has pledged itself to accept and pay tuition for pro-Hamas university punks they should accept the offer. Go! And let this country alone!

Iran is spending some of the millions of dollars that Biden sent Iran right here in America. Our tax dollars at work. Biden really is a genius.
