Mike Waltz: Trump Means It When He Said, ‘Nothing That Benefits Iran Is Coming Out of the Strait’

‘The president’s prepared to escalate to de-escalate’

EXCERPT:

WALTZ: “Well, I’m not going to give — get into operational timelines, but I will tell you, all options are on the table. The president is prepared to escalate, to de-escalate. He means it when he said nothing that benefits Iran is coming out of the Strait. And then, on top of that, Secretary Bessent announced Operation Economic Fury, where we are prepared to put secondary sanctions on banks who are transacting in illegal Iranian oil dollars. So we are truly putting maximum pressure on every aspect of the Iranian economy. And, at some point, they are going to see some level of common sense and pragmatism and say enough is enough with this nuclear obsession.”
