Senator Ted Cruz was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo and discussed Iran and the threat to the world they pose if they had a nuclear weapon. Senator Cruz clearly stated that he backs President Trump’s view that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
“Senator, thank you so much for being here. Your reaction on the US side?” Bartiromo asked.
“This week has been extraordinarily consequential, extraordinarily dangerous, and I will say this week was also, inevitable. The Ayatollah is a theocratic lunatic. He regularly chants ‘death to America, death to Israel,’” Cruz said.
“President Trump drew a very clear red line in the sand. He said on April 12th, he told Iran, you have 60 days to negotiate,” Cruz explained.
“President Trump has been clear that the standard for any deal must be complete dismantlement. No centrifuges, no enrichments,” Cruz said.
Senator Cruz explained that the Ayatollah was very defiant against President Trump’s terms and refused to comply with him.
“On the 61st day, the Ayatollah publicly said he would not shut down a single centrifuge. He said he would build more centrifuges. He would make more enriched uranium in order to make more nuclear weapons,” Cruz continued.
Senator Cruz explained that the strategic strikes that Israel had on Iran was to prevent them from building a nuclear weapon.
“The job is to prevent Iran from being able to acquire nuclear weapons. It’s not conquering Iran. It’s not turning them into a democracy. It’s taking away their capacity to commit mass murder and this week they’ve made enormous progress,” Senator Cruz said of Israel’s strategic strikes on Iran.
Senator Cruz also said that Iran is also a threat to the United States. He explained that the Ayatollah has murdered hundreds of our own military personnel.
“The Ayatollah has murdered over 600 service men and women. He’s the chief funder of terrorism across the globe, and he is trying to get weapons to be able to murder not hundreds of Americans, but millions of Americans,” Cruz warned.
“Israel is doing an enormous favor to America right now. They are taking out the capability of Iran to strike out at America,” Cruz said.
