EXCERPT:
CRUZ: "So, I talked to the president last week about this. And what I urged the president. I said, 'Listen, the regime has never been weaker. They are teetering.' There are real world consequences to losing a war. The ayatollah lost to Israel in the 12 day war. They are weaker, the regime is weaker than it ever has been. And what I’ve urged the president, 'Do not miss this opportunity. If the ayatollah is removed from power, it will make America much safer.' This is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. The Iranian regime is responsible for murdering hundreds of American servicemen and women. They fund terrorists all over the world. And so what I’ve urged the president is, number one, support the protesters and arm the protesters. Let the people of Iran give them the ability to overthrow their government.”
