Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz get in heated back and forth over Iran

Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz clashed in a tense interview over Cruz’s support for Trump and his stance on Iran amid rising U.S.-Israel tensions. Carlson grilled Cruz on basic facts about Iran, such as its population and ethnic makeup, accusing him of ignorance while advocating regime change. The exchange escalated into shouting, with Carlson questioning Cruz’s sincerity about Iran threatening Trump, and Cruz defending ongoing U.S. support for Israeli military strikes. Carlson, a critic of Middle East intervention, warned Trump against escalation, while Trump dismissed Carlson’s views and reaffirmed his hardline position on Iran.
