In a recent interview from 0:56 on CBS News, Republican Senator Ted Cruz explained the reasoning behind U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, citing the country’s history of threats against American leaders.
“Ayatollah, who is no longer with us, not once but twice hired hitmen to try to murder President Trump,” Cruz said, underlining Iran’s past aggression toward the United States.
The senator highlighted Iran’s long-standing support for militant groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all of which have targeted American citizens and allies.
Cruz described the military actions as defensive, aimed at disrupting Iran’s capacity to carry out attacks rather than pursuing prolonged occupation. He stressed that these measures are necessary to safeguard American lives and prevent future plots against U.S. leaders.
