Ted Cruz Defends Decision to Sign Letter to Iran Over Nuclear Deal
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, one of 47 Republicans who signed a controversial letter to Iran about ongoing nuclear talks, said Tuesday he would gladly sign it again.
The conservative lawmaker said on MSNBC`s "Morning Joe" that he "would sign it in large print so that the Ayatollah wouldn`t need his reading glasses to read the signature."

The original letter was slammed by the White House and Democrats as a "reckless" move as the Obama administration attempts to clinch a deal on Tehran`s nuclear program. The Republicans who signed the letter warned Iran that the next U.S. president could easily undo any agreement.

Cruz said Tuesday that he signed the letter partly because the prospective deal is not only "profoundly dangerous both to the security of our friend and ally Israel, but also to American national security."
