Tucker Carlson spars with Ted Cruz on Israel-Iran strikes: "You don't know anything about Iran"
CBSN
An interview between Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz about Israel's military campaign against Iran became contentious when the ex-Fox News host quizzed the Texas Republican about Iran — highlighting a rift among President Trump's allies.
The back-and-forth hinged on Cruz's backing of Israeli strikes against Iranian targets. The Trump administration has stated the U.S. is not directly involved in the offensive, but it has helped Israel defend against Iranian counterattacks, and Mr. Trump has weighed conducting strikes on Iranian nuclear targets, CBS News has previously reported.
Carlson — a vocal skeptic of military intervention — questioned the premise of joining a war with Iran and criticized Cruz for saying he would like the Iranian regime to be toppled, saying to Cruz at one point: "You don't know anything about Iran."
