Summary

Republican Senator Ted Cruz says the US is “unquestionably winning the war” with Iran, praising President Trump’s decision to launch military action. Cruz believes the strikes have been an “incredible success”, taking out Iran’s air defenses, missile launchers, and top officials. However, many Americans disagree, with polls showing a partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans. The strikes have resulted in the deaths of Iranian officials and the decimation of their military, but Iran has retaliated with attacks on Israel and its neighbors.
