CRUZ: "Well, I don’t think there’s any possibility that this becomes a long, protracted military engagement. You’re not going to see hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground. You’re not going to see us there months and then years. Iran is not Iraq. They are very, very different. I think the Iraq war was a mistake. I would not support a major and extended invasion in Iran. This is very different. These are targeted, but very consequential strikes to take out a very direct threat. Iran over the last 40 years has murdered nearly 1000 Americans. They have been the leading state sponsor of terrorism for 47 years. Hamas gets 90% of its funding from Iran. Hezbollah does to the Houthis do to twice. The ayatollah has hired hitmen and sent them to try to murder President Trump. And so I think President Trump made a very reasonable decision that he was going to act as commander-in-chief to stop this threat to America.”
