The report said the Telegram post listed 18 companies that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps views as "legitimate targets," including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Meta, IBM, Cisco, Tesla, Boeing, Nvidia, J.P. Morgan, and others.

The post accused the companies of acting as "spies" for the U.S. government, the report said.

Had to be done. Short term pain for long term peace & gain.
How about using that same $200B for needless war and $100M for his golf trips to take care of things here at home instead?

And for that short-term pain, why not draft his sons and Netanyahu’s son? You know? Leading by example.

EDIT: My apologies! I almost forgot about the $220M ICE Barbie spent on horses and costumes. That’d have kept kids hunger-free for months.

Gas prices were higher at times during Biden's term but the media and libs were silent about it.
That was due to Russia. This was due to direct actions of an idiot and his abusive alcoholic sidekick falling for Israel’s lies.

And not having a plan at all didn’t help either.

Theocratic frauds. Bearded robe wearing nonces who steal all the money, slaughter their own populations, and buy up billions of dollars property, politicians and journalists in the West who are always happy to take the oil money and blood money. The children of that regime live billionaire lifestyles in Barcelona, London, Toronto and Monaco.

Remember guys, the more religious someone appears the more they have something to hide.
