In this clip, **Ben Shapiro and Senator Ted Cruz react to controversial comments from New York politician Zohran Mamdani opposing U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran.**
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Mamdani called the strikes a *“catastrophic escalation”* and argued Americans do not want another war.
But Shapiro and Cruz strongly disagree.
Both argue that Iran has spent **nearly half a century waging war against the United States and its allies** — funding terrorist groups across the region and orchestrating attacks that have killed Americans.
Senator Cruz calls Iran **“the head of the snake”** behind terrorism in the Middle East, pointing to Tehran’s support for groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
Ben Shapiro also responds to critics who claim military action is unnecessary, arguing that ignoring Iran’s role in global terrorism rewrites decades of history.
This debate highlights the deeper divide in American politics:
Is confronting Iran necessary for global security — or is it a dangerous escalation?
Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself.
