Amb. Mike Waltz Says U.S. Drones Over Kuwait and the UAE Are Not a Violation of the Ceasefire with Iran
EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "Well, Martha, I've got to push back. Something did happen. President Trump put in a blockade with our great U.S. Navy that has stopped Iranian shipping, both coming out and, importantly, the empty tankers coming in that they need for storage. We see now Iran’s economy in absolute free-fall. Its currency is down over 100 percent. Its foreign currency reserves are completely exhausted. The New York Times ran an article today about mass layoffs across its manufacturing sector. So, the regime is under tremendous pressure. We don’t expect a regime that’s been obsessed with a nuclear weapon to just give it up freely. It’s going to take this type of pressure. But at the same, to your point on the ceasefire, look, that’s up to President Trump, as commander-in-chief, to determine what constitutes a violation, when to go back to military action, or when to continue to give diplomacy a chance.”
