Sen. Ted Cruz: We will see a new regime in Iran in the next few weeks

Published | Video Starts at 07:38

Do you know? I don't know for a fact either way. I do think Back to the 12 Day War last year. And if you'll recall, One head of the IRGC after another was taken out, the Ayatollah would name a new head of the IRGC and 24 hours later, that individual would be taken out. That happened to three or four of them. I will say this, this current ayatollah, my suspicion is his tenure is not long. And I'm not interested in an Iran run by an ayatollah. (07:38–07:48)
