‘Funding Both Sides Of The War': Ted Cruz Rips Biden, Says $6 Billion Will Help Iran Build Drones
[Daily Caller] Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas blasted President Joe Biden over paying $6 billion to Iran to secure the release of five Americans being held.

Iran released the five Americans Monday after the Biden administration persuaded South Korea to release $6 billion in oil revenue to Iran. The money was transferred to Qatar, which will release the funds for humanitarian aid, The New York Times reported. (RELATED: ’Desperate To ...

“Right now, Joe Biden is asking for $24 billion to go to Ukraine to fight the war, but simultaneously they’re announcing they’re sending $16 billion to Iran,” Cruz told Bloomberg “Balance of Power” co-hosts Joe Mathieu and Annmarie Hordern. “Iran is using that money to make drones, and those drones are going to Russia and Russia is using those drones to kill Ukrainians, so the Biden administration is funding both sides of the war.”
