Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said there was “no indication” that Tehran was “close to getting nuclear weapons” after the United States struck several Iranian nuclear facilities in June, The Hill reports.
Said Cruz: “We launched targeted bombs at the end of the 12-Day War where we dropped the equivalent of about a third of a nuclear weapon on those underground facilities. Facilities like Fordow, built into the base of a mountain We took them out last year.”
