We literally don’t understand Ben Rhodes’ relationship with Iran; why he hasn’t packed up and moved there is a mystery to us. Rhodes can always be counted on to pop up in Iran’s defense on social media whenever there’s a controversy, such as the United States continuing to enforce economic sanctions against Iran, even as the country has become a hotspot for the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is a moral abomination that the United States is continuing to enforce sanctions on Iran while its people die because of a virus that threatens all humanity. https://t.co/slYxA3fzWa

First, the Iranian government is a moral abomination, but that didn’t stop Rhodes and his boss Barack Obama from trying to cozy up; and second, it’s not as though Ayatollah Khamenei is going to redirect money from the country’s terror operations to dealing with a health crisis. They didn’t have a problem shooting their own citizens dead in the streets not too long ago.

A break from people in the tank for a totalitarian commie hive to hear from someone in the tank for a primitive villainous terror state. https://t.co/jsPqofjOP6

*You* are a moral abomination. Zarif himself doesn’t do as good a job spewing disinfo. How on earth were you trusted with our nation’s security? Useful idiot crafting US policy enabling slaughter of hundreds of thousands. Maybe it’s your bad conscience on fire. Shame. https://t.co/w6kooc0Ibc

Medical supplies are and have always been exempt from sanction. But Ben thinks his followers are idiots and on that count at least he's almost certainly right. https://t.co/YPpGJKkVCQ

Yes we should increase imports from a Coronavirus hotspot.

Perhaps you could ask Iran's "moderate" rulers to declare a ceasefire: No more attacks on Americans by their militias; release of Western hostages; suspension of support for foreign terrorists. No more chants of "Death to America!" Not forever. Just until the pandemic is over. https://t.co/UDOF9AebJn

It's the US's fault the mullahs care more about nuclear ambitions than their own people. https://t.co/leQTnyj1h6

Are you so unaware of the situation in Iran that you imagine these sanctions affect the Iranian PEOPLE?
The mullahs and IRGC confiscate all medicines, medical supplies and food, use them for themselves and sell the rest on the black market.
Do your homework Ben. https://t.co/dChsqepsoj

The Iranian regime has been consistently oppressing/killing Iranians. They are now putting their support for terrorism and nuclear ambitions above the health and prosperity of Iranian civilians.
Instead of blaming them for it, Rhodes tries to cast them as the victims. https://t.co/vpaRccCknt

Us removing the sanctions would provide minimal help to the Iranian people. The regime would quickly abuse and waste any resources that were gained. The end of the regime would save millions.

Well, actually it’s a moral abomination of Iran’s proxies in the region to be killing American troops in Iraq while Iran is in this crisis. Is this the Obama mindset? https://t.co/XCGhPkNWAu

Obama's foreign policy guru upset that we're still treating a state sponsor of terrorism as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Because everybody knows a pandemic means the past is completely erased and bales of European cash on a plane to Iran never happened. https://t.co/F70213N1Rp— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) March 19, 2020
Or, and hear me out, Ben, Iran could spend their money on their people instead of funding their terrorism. https://t.co/ST2VFfxbkB

What do you suggest, sending pallets of cash while their government makes IEDs to kill Americans? https://t.co/X5aontb07Y

The real moral abomination is #Iran's regime continues to prioritize its proxies and partners over its people. It's also a moral abomination that Tehran continues to hold hostage dual nationals–including U.S. citizens who have cancer & heart problems–amid a #COVID19 outbreak. https://t.co/n7PfuIJfP4

The US is literally fighting a proxy war against Iran. China is their ally, caused this problem and now claims to be on top of it and ‘leading the world’.
Yet somehow this goof thinks the US should drop everything and rush to their aid.
It’s just corrupt. https://t.co/GImmOzUuOy

Maybe if the Ayatollahs weren't publicly blaming America and Zionism for the virus while covering up the scale of the disaster in Iran, we might take the Rhodes approach and lend the regime a hand. Or not. https://t.co/WFwqBK40Qa
