Sen. Ted Cruz says 'unequivocal yes' to Trump’s 'mission accomplished' claim on Iran
Cruz agreed “unequivocally” that the president’s military objectives had been achieved, saying the US has eliminated Iran’s ballistic missiles and drone capabilities, air force, navy, and leadership.
Senator Ted Cruz "unequivocally" supported President Donald Trump's "mission accomplished" declaration regarding the war with Iran during a "Meet the Press" interview on Sunday. Cruz stated that the US had eliminated Iran's military capabilities, including its air force and navy, and significantly damaged its ballistic missile and drone programs. He claimed Iran's economy is in "free fall" due to a US blockade, incurring "$500 million a day of economic cost."
- Cruz advocated for the long-term objective of collapsing the Iranian regime.
- He proposed arming Kurdish forces and Iranian protesters to facilitate regime change, stating, "It's not fair to expect some Iranian protester standing there with a rock to stand up against soldiers with machine guns."
- Cruz clarified that US troops remain in the region to enforce the economic blockade, despite reduced active military conflict.
- He emphasized that while the US should not dictate Iran's government, it has an interest in preventing a regime that threatens America.
