Donald Trump Jr. Accuses Ted Cruz Of Lying Through His Teeth Over Reported $300 Billion Iran Investment Deal: 'We're Not

Giving Them A Cent'

On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. pushed back against Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) criticism of a reported U.S.-Iran economic framework, accusing the Texas Republican of misrepresenting the agreement and spreading misinformation about funding for Tehran.

Trump Jr., Cruz Clash Over Reported Iran Investment Fund
The dispute erupted after Benjamin Domenech, opinion editor at The Daily Wire, shared comments from Cruz arguing that it was not in America's interest to help restore Iran's capabilities after years of conflict and sanctions.

"Nearly one thousand Americans have been murdered by the Ayatollah," Cruz said, adding that the U.S. should not "pay to rebuild that capacity that we just took out."




Trump Jr. sharply disagreed, writing on X that Cruz was "lying thru his teeth about the deal."
