Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Obama’s rosy view of the Middle East was incorrect and that several opportunities have been missed by the administration to make things better in countries such as Syria and Iran.
“The claim that we are negotiating with Iran from a strong view with confidence is a blinkered reality,” Cruz said. “Capitulation is not victory.”
Cruz criticized Obama for asking Congress not to pass more sanctions against Iran at least until the conclusion of a recent six-month negotiation plan.
