Sen. Ted Cruz

Number one, what are the objectives the administration has stated?

And number two, what I think the objective should be.

So the administration has stated that the objective is to degrade the military so that they cannot strike out.

And so we've seen in the two and a half weeks that this military conflict has been ongoing.

We've seen, number one, their air defenses essentially completely eliminated.

We've seen their short and medium term, medium range missiles destroyed.

all but completely eliminated as well.

We've seen the missiles taken out.

We've seen the missile launchers taken out.

We've seen the manufacturing capacity for new missiles taken out.

Same thing for drones.

We've taken out the drones, the launching facilities and the manufacturing.

All of that has been taken out.

We've also taken out almost the entirety of the Iranian Navy.

The result has been that we have near complete air dominance over Iran.

There's nothing Iran can do about it.

And we have decapitated the regime.

Obviously, the Ayatollah is gone.

We've taken out many of the senior senior leaders in the regime.

You keep having new leaders appointed.
