After Iran launched a drone attack on Israel, you just knew the terrorist coddlers at the United Nations would be in a rush to call on the country that was attacked to restrain themselves from retaliating:
I strongly condemn the serious escalation represented by the large-scale attack launched on Israel by Iran.
— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) April 14, 2024
I call for an immediate cessation of these hostilities.
Neither the region nor the world can afford another war. https://t.co/Kmbt3zWMw7
I can only guess that the U.N. wants a pause so they can figure out how to blame all this on climate change, but the Biden White House and other G7 countries don't sound much different.
This was the optic during a virtual meeting of the G7 leaders and the people sitting with Biden:
G7 leaders today agreed to use all channels of influence on Israel to not launch retaliation attack on Iran now, @business reports https://t.co/lmiYy2DXLW

With #G7 leaders, we unanimously condemned Iran’s unprecedented attack against Israel.

All parties must exercise restraint. We will continue all our efforts to work towards de-escalation. Ending the crisis in Gaza as soon as possible, notably through an immediate ceasefire, will… pic.twitter.com/BIcrwDWxyV
It sounds like Biden and the rest of the G7 countries are saying "don't" to Israel instead of Iran this time, and we know how that worked with the latter.
Putin is watching. This show of weakness is terrifying in what it invites Russia China and Iran to do next.

How hard is the Iranian regime laughing at this bunch and their "all parties must exercise restraint" calls after one party continually does not exercise restraint?

The situation is now at the very predictable "strongly worded letter" phase.
Iran probably never considered the terrifying and profound consequence of 7 guys issuing a disapproving resolution https://t.co/lv8OXMBoHC

Was Biden working from note cards for this virtual meeting, or did the others in the room handle it for him?
Notice Biden needs others on camera to speak for him.

The "give the schoolyard bully your lunch money to de-escalate the situation" doctrine is going great.
Speaking of that, Team Biden is still defending releasing billions of dollars to Iran:
The State Department has long insisted such waivers are “necessary” while Iraq “weans itself off Iranian energy imports” and develops its domestic oil and gas production. The White House claims the unfrozen funds can only be used for humanitarian purposes.
“None of Iran’s money held in restricted accounts overseas has gone to Iran, and we have not freed up any cash to Iran. Any notion to the contrary is false and misleading.” the State Department told The Post in a statement Sunday.
“That money is held in restricted accounts overseas with strict oversight and in close coordination between the Departments of Treasury and State.”
Does anybody believe that? Even if they actually think that's the case, this bunch in the White House has screwed up everything they've put their fingerprints on, so massive skepticism is the only possible way to react.
