My friend, weakness invites aggression. But tough sanctions that bite and cripple are the one way, short of war, to thwart Iran’s drive to destroy Israel. I’ll give you some evidence ...

Trump-era sanctions cratered Iranian oil shipments, which nose-dived from 2.7 million barrels per day in June 2018 down to 680,000 barrels per day in June 2020.

Tough sanctions also dried up Iran’s foreign currency reserves, which plummeted from 122.5 billion dollars in 2018 to a paltry 4 billion by 2020. That put Iran’s oil-dependent economy on life support and forced it to slash funding to its terror proxies across the Middle East.

Bottom line? Biden’s weak, hat-in-hand appeasement gambit is a TOTAL FAILURE. But Trump’s maximum pressure campaign succeeded spectacularly.

For that reason, I am asking you to join me in demanding that Congress pass the “Maximum Pressure Act.”

For the sake of Israel and for our sake, too, as Americans, Congress must force Biden to impose severe sanctions on Iran.

Please sign our petition and fax Congress demanding they apply MAXIMUM PRESSURE on IRAN NOW by voting YES on HR 6114!

And please give generously as you respond to help CIDI fight for Israel on Capitol Hill, across America, and in Israel where we lead life-changing Covenant Journey tours.

Make no mistake. Iran is maniacally focused on the annihilation of Israel. It planned, funded, and trained Hamas for the most unspeakably cruel assault inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Yet Joe Biden is sending billions in sanctions relief to Israel’s genocidal enemy — Iran.

It’s insane — a bizarre betrayal of our close friend and ally — and must stop!

And please prayerfully consider a generous gift to help us kick off the New Year in support of Israel. YOUR SUPPORT allows us to keep defending the world’s only Jewish state in the face of an insane U.S. administration. Your generosity fuels this outreach ... and blesses Israel. The Jewish state desperately needs pro-Israel voices like ours.

Thank you and God bless you for partnering with CIDI and standing with Israel!
