The Biden inauguration proceeded peacefully, in spite of one House Democrat’s charge that three-quarters of America’s National Guardsmen “might want to do something” to interfere. Congress should focus on actual enemies of America, like Iran.
Since the 2020 election, Tehran greeted Mr. Biden with muscle flexing, seeing a “golden opportunity” to confront America. Iran’s supreme leader, referring to America as “the enemy,” backed lifting sanctions only if in a “correct, wise, Iranian-Islamic, and dignified manner.” The Iranian president bragged, “I have no doubt that the heroic national resistance of Iran is going to compel the future U.S. government to bow … and the sanctions will be broken.” Hezbollah announced it has doubled its advanced missile arsenal in one year.
