Ted Cruz Questions Biden Official On The Middle East

Published | Video Starts at 01:54

When Joe Biden became president, how much was Iran selling in oil a day? I don't have that figure for you. Of course you don't. The answer is about 300,000 barrels a day. How much is Iran selling in oil a day now? Somewhere short of 2 million. So it went from 300,000 barrels a day to 2 million barrels a day. That's about $80 billion that the Ayatollah has made because your administration refuses to enforce oil sanctions. (01:54–01:59)
