Senator Ted Cruz was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the Iranian people’s fight for freedom against the Islamic regime that has ruled their country since 1979.
“Let’s start with Iran, where dissent right now is being punished. I want to get your take on what President Trump should do regarding Iran?” Bartiromo asked.
“I have to say, we are living in extraordinary times. The change that is occurring across the globe exceeds anything we have seen in decades,” Cruz said.
Senator Cruz was optimistic that in the coming months that there would be a possibility that the regimes in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba would crumble.
“There is a very real possibility, that in the next six months the regimes in Iran, in Venezuela, and Cuba will all fall,” Cruz said.
“There is a real chance in the next six months that the people of those three countries will elect leaders who embrace freedom, and free enterprise, and that want to stand with America,” Cruz continued.
“You have to go back to the fall of the Berlin wall and to America winning the Cold War without firing a shot, to find a time as pivotal as where we are right now,” Cruz explained.
Senator Cruz explained that Iran was responsible for the majority of funding when it came to global terrorism which included Hamas and Hezbollah.
“Iran for 50 years has been the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. They have paid for and funded 90 percent of the funding of Hamas comes from Iran. 90 percent of the funding for Hezbollah comes from Iran,” Cruz warned.
“Iran funds terrorists all across the globe including sending terrorists to among other places, Venezuela, and targeting Americans,” Cruz continued.
“Right now, there are over a million Iranians that are showing unbelievable courage, standing up against this tyrannical regime, and I got to say President Trump I think has been very strong in telling the regime number one, we stand with the people, do not target, do not murder the protesters, telling the protesters, America stands with you,” Cruz said.
“A really important step occurred where President Trump came out unequivocally and said it is time for new leadership in Iran,” Cruz continued.
“Would you endorse that? That the US goes in and takes action?” Bartiromo asked.
“I think the US should be taking every step possible to end this regime. The Ayatollah Khamenei hates America. He regularly leads massive mobs chanting ‘death to America,’” Cruz explained.
