Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that there will be “severe consequences” for Iran once President-elect Donald Trump takes office because of their attempts to assassinate him.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing last week’s elections.
“Election Day was a fantastic day for America. It was a fantastic day for everyone who wants to see jobs, who wants to see border security, who wants to see national security enhanced,” Cruz said. “But it was a terrible, terrible day for the Ayatollah and the Iranian mullahs.”
The Texas senator, who won re-election last week for another six-year term, said that the Biden-Harris was not only responsible for Iran’s increased aggression, they also paid for it by not enforcing sanctions.
“The Trump administration is going to cut off the money,” he said. “That’s going to be the beginning and I expect serious consequences for Iran repeatedly trying to murder President Trump. I don’t know what those consequences will be, but I guarantee you, the Ayatollah and the mullahs are deeply, deeply worried and scared.”
He also called out the Department of Justice for not disclosing the most recent plot from Iran until after Election Day.
“Look, DOJ has long-standing rules that you’re not supposed to do anything to interfere in an election,” he said. “I would say that that foiling an assassination attempt by a foreign government is not DOJ doing something to interfere with an election.”
He said that the public had a right to know about the plot for the election and that their decision to bury it was an attempt to not help Trump on Election Day.
Election Day was a fantastic day for America, but it was a terrible day for the Iranian Ayatollah.
For four years, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed over $100 billion to go to Iran.
