Summary
BONUS: Trump Wins Decisive Victory in Iran, Media & Dems Spin Furiously; What's Next?
In this explosive bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson break down a high-stakes U.S. military operation under President Trump that targeted Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The episode delivers exclusive insights into the precision airstrike that involved:
- 🛩️ Deployment of seven B-2 stealth bombers and 14 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility
- 🚀 Launch of 30 Tomahawk missiles from a U.S. submarine targeting additional nuclear sites
- ✅ Zero American casualties and a major setback to Iran’s nuclear ambitions
Key Takeaways:
- 📉 The strike reportedly eliminated top Iranian nuclear and military personnel and crippled critical infrastructure, delaying Iran’s nuclear program by years.
- 🕊️ Iran’s immediate call for a ceasefire is framed as a sign of strategic weakness.
- 📰 Cruz and Ferguson blast mainstream media and Democrats for allegedly minimizing the operation’s success and leaking a preliminary DIA report to discredit Trump.
- ⚔️ Cruz denounces isolationist voices like Tucker Carlson, arguing that Trump’s bold action prevented broader conflict and reversed years of appeasement under Obama and Biden.
- 💸 He also warns against any post-strike sanctions relief or financial aid to Iran, urging continued pressure.
- 🇺🇸 The episode closes with strong praise for U.S. military forces and Trump’s leadership, championing a “peace through strength” doctrine as the cornerstone of effective foreign policy.
🔍 This episode is a must-listen for those interested in U.S. foreign policy, military strategy, and the political fallout of high-level defense decisions.

| 0:05.5 | Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz. |
| 0:08.0 | Ben Ferguson with you. |
| 0:09.2 | It's so nice to have you with us around the country wherever you are listening. |
| 0:12.8 | And we have got a lot to talk about tonight, especially with Iran, the effectiveness of the attack. |
| 0:18.6 | And the media trying to act like this was some sort of a failure. |
| 0:22.3 | Senator, it's been a very fun week to watch the spend games take place. |
| 0:26.2 | Well, it's been an extraordinary week. |
| 0:28.1 | Last Saturday night, President Trump acted decisively as the commander-in-chief. |
| 0:33.2 | He launched an attack on Iran that was brutally effective, incredibly efficient, defended America, |
| 0:39.6 | kept us safe. And ever since then, it did several things. Number one, it produced a ceasefire. |
| 0:48.2 | It caused Iran to come to the table and say, we want peace, we want to end this war. That was powerful. |
| 0:55.7 | But number two, it really has been striking. We've seen the media and Democrats go on full-time spin patrol, go in, lean in hard, |
| 1:03.7 | say this wasn't effective, this was a failure. I've got to say it is astonishing that the reaction |
| 1:08.8 | of CNN and the Democrats, when the president has a crushing military |
| 1:13.3 | attack taking out Iran's nuclear weapon capability, is to say, we stand with Iran and we think |
| 1:19.9 | the American military is not effective. We're going to break all that down. We're going to break |
| 1:23.8 | down. I had a classified briefing today for an hour and a half with our senior |
| 1:27.7 | military leaders. I'm going to walk through what happened, where things stand now in Iran, where they |
| 1:33.0 | stand in Israel, and what's coming next, because what's coming next matters intensely. Yeah, it really does. |
| 1:40.0 | I also want to take a moment and tell you about our good friends over at Crockett coffee. |
| 1:43.4 | There is an amazing cup of coffee that's sitting in front of me right now. |
