Senator Ted Cruz joins Eye for Iran as the United States and Israel intensify their campaign against the Islamic Republic. In this episode, Cruz lays out what he sees as the objective of the war, whether regime change is now on the horizon, what victory would look like, and whether limited U.S. ground engagement is possible.

Host Negar Mojtahedi also speaks with Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about possible endgame scenarios, and also taking a deeper look at Mojtaba Khamenei, the man now in charge of the Islamic Republic.

From Israel, journalist and defense analyst Yaakov Katz joins the program to discuss daily life under missile fire, Israel’s military coordination with the United States, how this war is reshaping the Middle East, and why many Israelis see the freedom of the Iranian people as central to the region’s future.
