NBC News reported Sunday that another American has been imprisoned by Iran on spying charges, and that “the imprisonment of a fourth American could derail a bid by the Biden administration to revive a nuclear agreement with Iran.”

Within a week, Iran's regime @khamenei_ir took another American, Emad Shargi, as hostage https://t.co/AoiFtWVDld
and announced it plans to murder a second champion wrestler, Mehdi Ali Hosseini. #United4Navid https://t.co/YD78nfGYo7— Benjamin Weinthal (@BenWeinthal) January 18, 2021
Welcome back to the Carter years. Complete with hostages, gas lines and inflation the likes we haven’t seen in decades.

They know Biden is weak.

Send Kamala to negotiate. She wears Chucks. Isn’t that cute.

Richard Grenell says that Iran is making moves against the upcoming Biden administration because they believe they can get away with it.
The Iranian regime is making moves against the Biden team. They believe they can get away with it. https://t.co/yxh8XOunTk

Believe? They know they can get away with it.

They will get away with it.

Why shouldn’t they believe it?
— glen belekis (@GBelekis) January 18, 2021
They believe correctly.

They're not wrong

Like we didn't see that coming…

What has led them to believe they can't?
— Jamie Hinkle (@jamiehinkle) January 18, 2021
They surely will with Susan Rice calling the shots.

That’s a shocker, I wonder what ever gave the Iranians the idea that they could push around a Biden administration?
— Alex Moen (@zblur22) January 18, 2021
Not only will they get away with it, Biden will probably write them a check.

Pallets of cash are back on the menu.
— Dave (@BulleitBro) January 18, 2021
They know they can get away with it. Heck, we may send pallets full of cash by next week.
— beer_bro (@beer_bro_) January 18, 2021
Not to worry; John Kerry will show up in Iran with pallets loaded with cash. Uh, on second thought, we’re screwed.
— Jeff Alan PSU (@JeffAlanPSU) January 18, 2021
It’s an investment situation for them. Snag a few Americans, wait a month, receive a pallet of cash. The precedent was set a little over 4 years ago…

Iranian regime started their intimidation knowing the new administration has no balls to stop them.

I didn’t know Carter was back in office

It’s the Jimmy Carter syndrome. Unfortunately his diplomacy was a complete disaster. Good man bad policy.
— William T. Nahikian (@WildBillHitcoch) January 18, 2021
Biden — and (Transportation Secretary?) Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders — all criticized President Trump during the Democratic primary debates for ordering an airstrike on Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani — how many pallets of cash will it take to smooth that over?
Take them at their word:
