Joel Gehrke is foreign affairs reporter for the Washington Examiner, with an emphasis on U.S. competition with China and Russia, Middle East policy following the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement, and the crisis in Venezuela. Previously, he covered domestic politics for National Review Online.
President Joe Biden’s administration blacklisted a trio of Iranian military officials accused of “financing and training Hamas,” the terrorist group that launched an Oct. 7 attack on Israel that ignited a war in Gaza.
Iran’s patronage of Hamas has been undisputed throughout the conflict, but U.S. officials have taken a cautious approach to blaming Tehran for the specific planning and execution of the Oct. 7 atrocities. Pentagon officials took a different approach after 10 days of attacks on U.S. forces in neighboring countries.
“The horrific Hamas attacks against Israel along with the recent Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. troops serve as just the latest signals that a total reevaluation of this administration’s Iran policy is gravely overdue,” Sen. James Risch , the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday.
