Sen. Ted Cruz Calls for Trump to Arm Iran's Protesters: "Our Objective Should Be Regime Collapse"
Cruz says arming anti-regime Iranians and keeping military pressure on Tehran would help force regime collapse, as talks with the Trump administration continue.
- Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz told the 'School of War' podcast that the U.S. objective regarding Iran should be "regime collapse," urging the administration to arm protesters to overthrow their government.
- Cruz first advocated arming Iranian protesters in late January, following a government crackdown that killed at least 12,000 people; he argues this approach avoids deploying American troops while empowering citizens to fight for their own country.
- Criticizing the administration's diplomatic strategy, Cruz labeled the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding a "disaster" and a "terrible deal," warning against the $300 billion in economic development funds.
- These calls highlight a broader GOP rift between interventionists and skeptics, as Vice President JD Vance defends the administration's diplomatic strategy while President Donald Trump has recently backed off explicit calls for regime collapse.
- Cruz continues advocating for economic pressure, including maintaining a blockade on Iranian ports; this unfolds as national gasoline prices have climbed above $4.08, with energy costs linked to the ongoing conflict.
