<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Daily Wire co-founder and Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro explained Wednesday on Piers Morgan’s program “Uncensored” why President Joe Biden has likely not mentioned Iran when discussing the unprecedented Hamas terror attacks on Israel. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shapiro explained that the likely reason is actually a “bad,” rather “obvious” reason – and that hinges on the Biden administration effectively handing over $6 billion to Iran, earlier this year. Notably, Iran funds the terror group Hamas. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So I think there&#8217;s a good reason he could have done that and a bad reason that he could have done that,” Shapiro responded to Morgan. “And the bad reason is pretty obvious, which is that the United States has unfrozen $6 billion in assets to flood into Iran in return for hostages. That money is fungible and there&#8217;s every possibility that money flowing into Iran, the weakening of sanctions has contributed to Iran&#8217;s spread of terror. That is not only a possibility. That&#8217;s a probability, and everyone knows it.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thus, Shapiro explained, Biden refusing to mention Iran could help him “presumably avoid blowback,” adding, “That is a bad reason.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other side of that, Shapiro said, the “good reason” to avoid mentioning Iran is to help “take down the temperature in the region.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So right now, geopolitically, this is a contained conflict,” the 39-year-old said. “This is Israel versus Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and everyone of good heart on every side, you hope that it remains that way.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hezbollah … is on Israel&#8217;s northern border and is an Iranian client; Hezbollah is a massive and significantly more powerful than Hamas terrorist group that exists and has a say in the government of Lebanon. Again, Israel&#8217;s surrounded on a lot of sides by terrorist groups that masquerade as governments. Hezbollah has about 150,000 much more sophisticated rockets than Hamas, pointed at northern Israel,” he explained. “Everyone understands that if Hezbollah, which would only do this at the behest of Iran, if Hezbollah were to get [involved], Israel would then be stretched militarily to the point where they would not have any choice but to go full force.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Once you are stretched to the point of extermination, all bets are off and the Israeli air force will have to be unleashed on the southern border of Lebanon,” Shapiro said. “At that point, you&#8217;d have to imagine that Bashar Assad in Syria starts to get active, Iran starts to get active. So … the possible good reason why [Biden] didn&#8217;t mention Iran, is because he&#8217;s attempting to keep Iran out of the war.” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shapiro noted that Biden did say in his speech that “any other group that wants to get in: ‘Don&#8217;t.’ America, to its great credit, to our great credit, we&#8217;ve stationed a battle carrier and aircraft carrier outside of Lebanon, in the Mediterranean, and basically said to Hezbollah that they should not get in. That is in fact the best available move.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There&#8217;s a very plausible bad reason why he didn&#8217;t mention Iran,” Shapiro summed up, “which is to avoid the blowback from his own idiotic Iran policy. And there&#8217;s a possible good reason, which is that he&#8217;s attempting to avoid the broadening of the conflict.”</span></p>
