Tucker to Sen. Cruz: “You Want to Bomb Iran But Don’t Know the Population?”

D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), June 18, 2025 — In a fiery exchange on Tucker Carlson Uncensored, the former Fox News host grilled a sitting U.S. senator over calls for escalating military involvement against Iran — exposing what Carlson described as a stunning lack of basic knowledge about the country the senator wants to strike.

“How many people live in Iran?” Carlson asked.
“I don’t know the population,” the senator admitted.
Carlson fired back, “You don’t know the population of the country you seek to topple?”

The senator eventually guessed “92 million,” which is roughly 20 million too high. Carlson pressed further:
“What’s the ethnic mix of Iran?”
The senator replied, “They are Persians and predominantly Shia,” before brushing off further questions by saying, “I’m not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran.”

Carlson responded bluntly: “You’re a senator calling for the overthrow of a government and don’t know anything about the country.”

The interview escalated when Carlson accused the senator of downplaying the Iranian government’s threat to former President Trump.
“You don’t believe they’re trying to murder Trump?” Carlson asked.
“Yes, I do,” the senator replied.
“Then why aren’t you calling for military retaliation?” Carlson shot back.

The senator insisted Israel was already leading the strikes with U.S. support. But Carlson interrupted with a fact-check:
“Breaking news — the U.S. government, through NSC spokesman Alex Pfeiffer, denied any offensive involvement. You just told millions of people the opposite.”

The segment underscored Carlson’s signature combative style and raised questions about whether members of Congress are adequately informed before advocating for foreign intervention.
