Texas Sen. Ted CRuz told FOX News on Thursday night that “it is entirely possible that in the next six months we’ll see regimes fall in Iran, in Venezuela, and in Cuba.” “And we could also see governments replace them that want to be friends with the United States of America,” he said. “I’m not being Pollyannish about this. There are a thousand things that could go wrong. But if that happens, this would be the most consequential geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, since America won the Cold War without firing a shot.” “The regime is teetering. The Ayatollah is in his last days. And I said, do not let this opportunity pass. We have an opportunity.” “I believe there is no deal to be had in terms of the nuclear program. The Ayatollah has shown that he’s a liar. He’s willing to lie. He wants to delay. His regime is in tatters. I don’t think Trump will fall for that. The only deal he can make is, let me go somewhere else. That one deal is available-to say, all right, we’re done,” Cruz said. “To see the mullahs toppled would be a tremendous advance for the people of Iran. It would be a tremendous advance for the Middle East. But most critically, it would be a massive improvement in the national security of the United States.”
