Senator Ted Cruz blamed President Joe Biden for the Iranian-backed terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of three U.S. soldiers, citing Biden’s “national security failures” and “appeasement.”
Cruz accused Biden of funding the attacks through financial support to Iran and criticized the administration’s response to Iranian aggression.
He also highlighted the contrast between the Trump administration’s sanctions on Iran and the Biden administration’s approach.
“We’ve talked a lot in this podcast about the 13 servicemen and women murdered in Afghanistan, again, because of Joe Biden’s weakness. And understand, there have been over 170 attacks by Iranian proxies on US troops,” Cruz said.
“Iran is waging war on the administration, on America, on our servicemen and women. And Joe Biden is so utterly weak, he doesn’t do a damn thing about it.”
Cruz expressed concern that Biden’s perceived weakness could lead to further attacks on Americans.
“Not only is he too weak to respond with force, but even worse than that, Biden funded this,” Cruz said.
“Understand Joe Biden is responsible for flowing roughly $100 billion to the Iranian regime to the Ayatollah, to the mullahs. That is funding these attacks. The October 7th attack on Israel, murdered over 1,200 Israelis was among the worst terror attacks in the history of the United States with the Americans who were murdered. Joe Biden, in a very real sense, funded that as well.”
“And Joe Biden came in he flowed $10 billion to Iran, he floats $6 billion to Iran,” he said.
“And he stopped enforcing the oil sanctions that ended up flowing $80 billion to Iran. Today, Iran is selling 2 million barrels a day of oil. These rockets, these drone attacks that just killed three servicemen and women, Joe Biden, in a very real sense funded them. Because when you send $100 billion to a theocratic lunatic who screams ‘Death to America and Death to Israel’, you know what happens? They actually follow through on that.”
