Ted Cruz Gets Tough on Details of Iran Nuclear Deal

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) has not been shy about his criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Cruz visited MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday to promote his new book A Time For Truth, and he highlighted that Tuesday was the deadline for the nuclear deal that has since been extended to July 9. The negotiations over a nuclear Iran have consumed the past three years and have been continuously extended.

“Under this deal, Iran would get a $50 billion signing bonus,” Cruz said. “That money would be used to fund Hamas, to fund Hezbollah, to fund terrorists throughout the world … It would mean, without exaggeration, that if this deal goes through and billions of dollars flow in, that the United States government becomes in effect a leading financier of terrorism because those dollars will be used to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans.”

The latest reports of the negotiations is that President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have backed down on inspections of Iran’s military bases. Both Obama and Kerry have cited that the reason they have backed down is because of the justification that the U.S. would never allow Iran to inspect our military bases. Cruz said that he found the moral equivalency nonsensical and “ridiculous.”

“The reason why the world has imposed sanctions against Iran is because Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism,” Cruz said. “The Ayatollah is a radical theocratic zealot who regularly leads chants of ‘Death to America.’”

Cruz added that the Senate should stand up and oppose the deal. He also mentioned that he fought hard for the sanctions not to be lifted unless the president gets an affirmative majority from Congress.

So Obama’s brilliant strategy is to buy Iran’s agreement with billions of taxpayer dollars while getting nothing in return. Peachy. I’m sure all of Iran’s enemies are reassured.

I've got a 2 year old great grandson who can negotiate better than odumbo and Kerry. Those two have to be the worst negotiators in history. No doubt the Iranian V. Garret setups up the stage for those two imbeciles and they dance to whatever she tells them to do.

Congress needs to back Cruz's lead and stop this obvious disaster in the making.

It won’t matter. The deal will get signed, the money will be released secretly whether the Senate passes the bill or not. Count on it.

You must be a Cruz zombie to believe that name-calling serves as refutation. Did not Cruz in fact vote for the damn bill? Yes, he did, since I know you won’t answer the question.

All our posts can be summoned in a second. You will find that I have never supported Paul, just the opposite. I read his piece on the ruling, but it was so convoluted, I gave up. Also, you can shove the crickets up your ass.

“We straights don’t do much of that, but feel free.”

Projection? I’m here on this site by myself; I don’t need help. Have you ever tried to be logical? However, this conservation is over. When I left Junior High, I left Junior High mentality with it.
