Antony Blinken Touts Biden-Harris Foreign Policy Amid Iran Attack on Israel
Secretary of State Antony Blinken published an op-ed on Tuesday, touting the Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy record. He stated that the administration has taken drastic deviations from former President Trump, emphasizing their strategy of renewal and international cooperation. This comes as Iran directly attacked Israel with hundreds of ballistic missiles, a significant escalation by Iran.
Blinken highlighted the administration’s efforts to strengthen America’s geopolitical position through diplomatic campaigns and partnerships abroad. He noted that the war in Gaza is interconnected with Iran’s maligned behavior and emphasized the need for a time-bound, credible path to statehood that addresses both Palestinian aspirations and Israeli security needs.
House Republicans have criticized the Biden-Harris foreign policy, describing it as aiming at “appeasement,” particularly towards Iran. They stated that Iran’s attacks on Israel demonstrate the dangers of the administration’s weak and failed foreign policy.
