Tucker Carlson Grills Ted Cruz on Iran Knowledge and US Military Strikes

In a recent interview, political commentator Tucker Carlson challenged Senator Ted Cruz on his knowledge of Iran, questioning the senator's understanding of the country's demographics and ethnic makeup. The exchange, which has garnered attention online, saw Carlson press Cruz on the specifics of Iran's population, to which Cruz responded that he does not "sit around memorizing population tables." The discussion further delved into the topic of military strikes, with Carlson questioning Cruz's stance on US involvement and support for Israel's actions, and whether such actions constitute an attempt to "topple" the government. Cruz clarified that he believes Israel is leading such efforts with US support, rather than the US directly carrying out strikes. The heated debate highlighted differing perspectives on US foreign policy and the level of detail expected from political leaders regarding international affairs.
