Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said to the best of his knowledge, there was no indication Iran was anywehre close to getting nuclear weapons following the dual military strikes launched by the U.S. and Israel.
I dont have present-day intelligence on what progress they had made towards rebuilding nuclear weapons since we bombed their facilities, Cruz told Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan Sunday morning. I have no indication that that they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons because our bombing was devastating.
At the beginning of the exchange Cruz said Trumps decision to launch a military strike against Iran will be the single most important decision of his presidency.
I think he laid out powerfully and effectively why he is taking this action. He is taking this action because the government of Iran is a profound and malign influence, he continued. They have been the leading state sponsor of terrorism for 47 years. They have, over that time, killed nearly 1,000 Americans. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hamas. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hezbollah, the Iranian ayatollah was, until yesterday, actively trying to murder the President of the United States Donald J. Trump.

It wasn't a reward, but a removal.
