Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-Texas) today issued a statement following <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Prime Minister of Israel\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prime_Minister_of_Israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Israeli Prime Minister<\/a> <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Benjamin Netanyahu\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benjamin_Netanyahu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>\u2019s revelations about Iran\u2019s nuclear program:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cToday\u2019s stunning revelations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu powerfully demonstrate why the Obama Iran nuclear deal is not just unfixable, but truly catastrophic. The Prime Minister\u2019s presentation was remarkable\u2014unprecedented\u2014and worth watching in full. Through extraordinary intelligence operations, Israeli agents captured over 100,000 secret documents and files from Iran. These Iranian documents prove that (1) for two decades, Iran has conducted a clandestine nuclear weapons program; (2) Iran lied repeatedly, and brazenly, denying that secret program; (3) the Obama nuclear deal was predicated on that edifice of lies; and (4) Iran is today in violation of that deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cThe national security consequences of the Obama <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Iranian nuclear deal<\/a> are twofold: First, America has allowed billions of dollars to flow to the world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terrorism, a nation directly responsible for the murder of hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women. And second, those billions of dollars have also propped up a despotic regime and provided vast resources for ongoing ballistic missile tests designed to enable Iran to launch a nuclear weapon on the American homeland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cIn light of these astonishing Israeli revelations, the course before President Trump is clear. As the President has said repeatedly, this deal is a \u2018terrible deal,\u2019 even worse than many previously realized. The <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation noopener\">United States<\/a> should therefore withdraw immediately, re-impose crushing sanctions, work to encourage our allies to do the same, and do everything necessary to insure that the Ayatollah Khamenei never \u2014 never \u2014 acquires the nuclear weapons to make good on his pledge of \u2018death to America.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if Europe will join us in exiting the Iran nuclear deal&#8211;it is very profitable for them to stay in it. However, I think it is time for us to leave.
