US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Friday evening that the emerging US-Iran agreement will channel billions of dollars to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), warning that if the Islamic regime remains in power it will continue to threaten President Trump and his family, according to posts on social media cited by i24NEWS.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Texas) escalated his public opposition to President Trump's emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran on Friday evening, warning that the deal would effectively funnel billions of dollars to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In posts circulated on social media and reported by i24NEWS, Cruz called the current Iranian regime 'liars' and warned that the IRGC would use the funds for nuclear weapons development. He also stated that if the Islamic regime remains in power, it 'will continue to threaten President Trump and his family.'
Cruz's comments are the latest in a growing wave of bipartisan congressional opposition to the US-Iran agreement, as The Zioneer reported earlier Friday. The senator from Texas has been a consistently hawkish voice on Iran, and this latest salvo echoes language from his earlier statements this week. The administration has not yet responded to Cruz's allegations.
