Sen. Ted Cruz: We will see a new regime in Iran in the next few weeks

wti

In terms of the oil prices, we've seen a temporary spike. I don't think it will be extended... But I think over the long term, this will put downward pressure on oil prices... will result in greater global supply that'll benefit American consumers over time. Thesis is that successful military action leading to a non-terrorist, stable regime in Iran will increase global oil supply, outweighing short-term conflict-driven spikes.
