Donald Trump Jr. unloaded on Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday, accusing the Texas Republican of flat-out lying about President Trump’s controversial Iran peace agreement and fueling a growing civil war inside the MAGA movement.
“The only problem with this quote is that @tedcruz is lying thru his teeth about the deal,” Trump Jr. wrote on X.
“We’re not giving them a cent and he knows that. Using fake news about the peace deal to undermine @realDonaldTrump is the opposite of MAGA.”
The blistering rebuke came after Cruz blasted the Trump administration’s newly unveiled memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, warning it could ultimately enrich one of America’s most dangerous adversaries.
“History teaches that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea,” Cruz told The Hill. “I think the president is receiving some very poor advice on this deal.”
The agreement, signed this week following months of negotiations aimed at ending the 110-day U.S.-Iran conflict, has triggered fierce backlash from several Senate Republicans who argue Tehran is walking away with major concessions.
At the center of the controversy is a proposed $300 billion investment fund intended to help rebuild Iran’s economy and infrastructure. According to Reuters, private companies from the United States, Gulf states, Asia, South America and Africa have already pledged financing for more than half of the fund, with investments targeted toward energy, transportation, logistics and manufacturing projects.
Trump and his allies insist critics are misrepresenting the arrangement.
Speaking at the Group of Seven summit in France, Trump flatly denied that American taxpayers would finance Iran’s reconstruction.
“We’re not investing any money,” Trump told reporters. “We’re not putting up 10 cents.”
The president added that private companies are free to invest if they choose, but emphasized the U.S. government is not contributing funds.
Still, Cruz remains unconvinced.
The Texas senator has repeatedly warned that any deal allowing Iran access to billions in investment while preserving elements of its military infrastructure would be a “disastrous mistake.” In recent weeks, he has voiced concerns that Tehran could emerge from the agreement financially stronger while retaining significant regional influence.
Cruz is hardly alone.
Several Republican senators have raised alarms over the agreement, with critics arguing the deal lifts pressure on Iran without permanently dismantling its nuclear ambitions or missile capabilities. Sen. Bill Cassidy called the agreement “the worst foreign policy blunder in decades,” while other GOP lawmakers have questioned whether Tehran is giving up enough in return.
Could the people who are complaining about the MOU please provide more details for the 10 Commandments. More details just leads to more opportunities to cheat. It’s simple. God is the judge for the 10 Commandments and the US/free world is the judge for the MOU.
Let’s be clear, ISRAEL doesn’t want Iran to survive. That’s why they keep bombing during these peace treaties.
ISRAEL HAS NO TREATIES WITH ANY COUNTRY, INCLUDING THE USA. THEY ARE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT, APPARENTLY.
Get rid of the “Israel” first Americans. They certainly are not AMERICA FIRST.
Israel is free to develop nukes with NO OTHER COUNTRY overseeing/supervising it. And then they constantly attack other countries to try to start more wars, land grab, and kill more people. Like the Germans did in the war, Israel is doing the same in modern day 2026 – to destroy a country or people completely so that virtually nothing remains. And then they slip in to land grab with “settlors” who are ONLY PRO JEW and PRO ISRAEL and hate EVERYONE who is not. Including Muslims and Christians.
SEE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR? Not Iran, Not Lebanon, Not Syria, etc. It’s ISRAEL.
Let’s STOP supporting Israel and bring THEM into check.
And I’m not anti-Jewish, that’s just a religion. As long as one religion does not attack another, then they should have the right to exist.
But not in the name of “killing” whomever they wish. That’s BARBARIC.
ps. my daughter in law’s father practices Judaism We are a multi-religious family.
Maybe Israel is taking advantage of the situation to PERMANENTLY rid themselves of having hateful neighbors, BUT, You Can’t Kill Hate !
