Auburn University head basketball coach Bruce Pearl voiced his displeasure with President Biden’s decision to released $6 billion to Iran in exchange for hostages, saying the world is now less safe because of the act.

That’s because he clearly feels that nations need to stand up to Iran’s terrorist regime. 

Pearl was active on X, formerly Twitter, yet again on Thursday, this time criticizing Iran as well as those in power who don’t stand up to the "Islamic Republic" that oversees all aspects of Iranian life.

"We not alone in sending mixed messages to the world about how to deal with Irans brutal, extreme, terrorist regime," Pearl tweeted. "You don’t lay out a red carpet and invite them to this country to speak, pay ransom when they abduct our citizens and relieve sanctions so they can stay in power!"

Pearl added in a separate tweet: "Stand with the Iranian people by standing against its terrorist regime!"

Pearl, who has been leading the Tigers since the 2014-15 season, took to X earlier this week to express his opinion on the State Department’s announcement that five Iranians will be released by the U.S. as well as the $6 billion in seized oil sale revenue in exchange for five American citizens who have been imprisoned by Iran.
