US Ambassador to UN Vows Continued Strikes on Iran if Hormuz Threats Persist

Mike Waltz, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, declared that Washington will persist in targeting Iran's military infrastructure should Tehran continue to threaten navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Fox News, Waltz emphasized that the Iranian regime is mistaken if it believes President Trump will remain passive while Iran attacks international shipping or US bases without facing retaliation. He stated, "If the Iranian regime thinks for a second that President Trump will sit idly by as it continues to attack international shipping or our bases without response, they are making a grave mistake." This statement underscores the US commitment to safeguarding maritime routes and responding firmly to Iranian provocations in the strategically vital waterway.
