Iran humiliates Biden again by forcing singer given a Grammy by Jill to write anti-US anthem

Just how impotent is President Biden’s foreign policy on Iran?

First lady Jill Biden in 2023 presented Iranian singer Shervin Hajipour a Grammy Award in absentia for his song “Baraye,” a protest anthem inspired by Mahsa Amini, the young woman killed by Tehran’s religious police.

Now Iran’s rulers are reportedly forcing Hajipour to write an anti-USA song. 

It’s a massive soft-power slap in the face by Tehran. 

To be clear: The Khameinists are and always have been monstrous; their domestic political repression can’t be laid at Biden’s feet. 

But that they chose this artist, who took his award from the first lady’s hands, to create their propaganda sends a clear signal to the president.
