Obama State Dept blocked FBI from arresting supporters of Iran nuclear program in US: Emails
Fox News
Obama-Biden State Department “actively interfered" with the FBI executing arrest warrants on individuals allegedly supporting Iranian efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction
The Obama-Biden administration began its Joint Plan of Action, which served as the negotiating process for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, that was signed by then-President Obama in 2015. At the time, Obama said broader sanctions would remain in place, which the administration would "continue to enforce... vigorously." Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
The United States, for decades during both Republican and Democratic administrations, imposed sanctions on "Iranian individuals, companies, and organizations for involvement in nuclear proliferation, ballistic missile development, support for terrorist groups, and human rights abuses."
