Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) lashed out at Trump on Saturday as a deal with Iran was being negotiated, suggesting without any knowledge that Trump was caving to Iran.
Early reports on the deal with Iran suggest that an agreement is near and that Iran is poised to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and abandon its nuclear enrichment program.
Cruz, a potential 2028 presidential contender and longtime cheerleader of the war in Iran, applauded Trump for starting the war but attempted to undermine the efforts to end the war.
Describing himself as “deeply concerned,” Cruz said Trump was making a “disastrous mistake” with a deal that would result in Iran “receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz.”
Trump, he said, “should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.”
Likewise, RINO warmonger Lindsey Graham, the world’s biggest proponent of war with Iran, also attacked the notion of making a deal to end the war on Saturday, describing the outcome as “a nightmare for Israel.”
“It makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate,” he ironically said after years of pushing for war.
