Iran’s Supreme Leader is gunning for President Trump. On Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” Sunday, May 11, 2025, Sen. Ted Cruz dropped a bombshell, accusing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of orchestrating a murder plot against the president. The woke left’s silence on this is deafening, Breitbart reported.
Cruz, a Texas Republican, told host Mark Levin that Khamenei’s regime is a clear and present danger to U.S. security. He slammed the Biden administration’s soft-on-Iran approach, which he says emboldened Tehran’s aggression. Appeasement never works, folks.
The senator didn’t mince words: Khamenei wants Trump dead. He’s allegedly hired hitmen to take out not just Trump but also former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser John Bolton. This isn’t diplomacy; it’s terrorism.
“The Ayatollah right now today is actively trying to murder Donald J. Trump,” Cruz said. That’s not hyperbole—it’s a wake-up call. Iran’s brazenness proves they fear no consequences under Biden’s watch.
Cruz doubled down, saying Khamenei’s hitmen are targeting top U.S. figures. The regime’s history of broken promises and lies over 15 years makes trusting them a fool’s errand. Actions have consequences, and Iran’s are piling up.
Host Mark Levin questioned how to handle a regime that never keeps its word. “How can we trust them?” he asked. Spoiler: We can’t, and Cruz knows it.
“We know that they lie and they lie over and over again,” Cruz fired back. He’s right—Iran’s track record is a masterclass in deception. Trusting them is like handing a scorpion a handshake.
Cruz pushed for dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, calling for the destruction of their centrifuges. He cited Trump’s recent stance: Iran can agree to dismantle “nicely,” or face consequences “not so nicely.” That’s the kind of clarity we need.
Iran’s nuclear ambitions aren’t theoretical—they’re a ticking time bomb. Cruz warned that Tehran wants nukes to threaten or even use against cities like New York or Los Angeles. The left’s obsession with “diplomacy” ignores this existential threat.
“Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons because Iran wants to be able to threaten to use nuclear weapons,” Cruz stated. A nuclear Iran isn’t just a regional problem; it’s a global catastrophe waiting to happen. Woke foreign policy wonks might clutch their pearls, but reality doesn’t care.
Cruz admitted some in Trump’s circle lean isolationism, urging inaction on Iran. He’s no warmonger, but he knows ignoring Iran’s nukes isn’t an option. Strength, not retreat, is the answer.
Trump, as commander-in-chief, won’t let Iran go nuclear, Cruz believes. The president’s resolve will force Iran to dismantle its program—willingly or not. That’s leadership, not posturing.
“I don’t think he’s going to allow that risk,” Cruz said of Trump and Iran’s nuclear threat. A regime that plots to kill American leaders can’t be allowed to wield atomic bombs. It’s common sense, not saber-rattling.
Cruz’s call to action is clear: Iran’s centrifuges must be scrapped. If Tehran refuses, the U.S. has the firepower to handle it. Diplomacy is great until it’s a suicide pact.
Iran’s assassination plots and nuclear dreams demand a response. Cruz’s warnings on Fox News underscore the stakes: a rogue regime threatens our leaders and our cities. Trump’s America won’t bow to terrorists, and neither should we.
