Sen. Ted Cruz used his appearance on The Chris Salcedo Show to make a bold, unequivocal stand with the brave Iranians taking to the streets against the Ayatollah regime, reminding Americans that liberty has friends in Washington who will call evil by its name. Conservative media like Newsmax has been giving a platform to voices that refuse to bow to the appeasers in the press and on the left.
What is unfolding in Iran is not a whisper but a roar — mass demonstrations, women defiantly removing state-mandated coverings, and brutal crackdowns that have shocked the conscience of the free world. These protests have swelled into something historic, and patriots who cherish freedom should see this moment for what it is: a people rising to reclaim their rights.
Cruz’s message is the right one for conservatives: stand with the oppressed, cheer on those who risk everything for liberty, and call out regimes that murder their own citizens to stay in power. He’s not offering platitudes; he’s pointing to a real strategic opportunity to weaken a regime that funds terrorism and threatens our allies.
We should be blunt about the stakes — an Iran unshackled from theocratic rule would be less able to bankroll Hamas and Hezbollah and far less likely to pursue nuclear weapons without fear of consequence. That is not just idealism; it is hard-headed national security thinking that prioritizes the safety of Americans and our friends abroad.
Too many in the legacy media and the political class have treated these uprisings as another story to be buried under partisan narratives, but ordinary Americans see the rightness of standing with people fighting for freedom. Social media and independent voices are forcing the conversation because big outlets have been slow to lift up the courage of these protesters.
If Washington is serious about defending liberty, it will amplify support, push for targeted pressure on regime leaders, and make clear that the United States stands with the Iranian people — not the clerical tyrants. Leaders from across the political spectrum have a responsibility to act; silence is complicity and the American people deserve better.
Patriots should rally behind Cruz’s clarity and refuse the moral cowardice of those who would look away. Stand with the brave heroes of Iran who are risking everything for freedom, demand that our leaders put real weight behind their words, and remember that liberty won anywhere strengthens liberty everywhere.
