US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized the emerging US-Iran agreement Friday evening, saying giving billions of dollars to a regime that chants "death to America" is a bad idea, according to i24NEWS.
US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) returned to the Iran agreement debate Friday evening, arguing that channeling billions of dollars to the Iranian regime — which openly chants 'death to America' — is a bad idea. His remarks were reported by i24NEWS. The comment echoes earlier statements by Cruz reported by Abu Ali Express and Israeli media on June 18, in which he warned that $300 billion would go toward nuclear weapons development. The emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding has drawn sustained bipartisan criticism among US lawmakers. Israel's leadership, including Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, has also warned the deal carries risks for Israel and the region. Cruz's latest statement does not offer new specifics about the framework or his proposed alternative.
