Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has criticized Joe Biden for 鈥渂oosting, and in many cases funding, both sides鈥� of Russia鈥檚 war in Ukraine. As Iran aids Russia鈥檚 invasion, the Biden administration allows the regime in Tehran to rebuild its energy exports, restore its economy, and buy and sell weapons to the Russian Federation. This position has had catastrophic consequences for the safety and security of Americans. In the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Cruz recently told Secretary of State Antony Blinken that 鈥渘o matter how much you may want to help Ukraine, there is something the Biden administration wants more, which is to re-enter a nuclear agreement with Iran.鈥� 

Please join Michael Doran, Hudson senior fellow and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, for a conversation with Senator Cruz about Cruz鈥檚 perspective on these issues and on global strategy more broadly.
