3:01Now PlayingMike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on Tuesday warned that Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz could be its “last act” as President Trump threatens to destroy the country.
“Forty-seven years ago, the Iranian regime’s first act was to take dozens of Americans hostage,” he said at a U.N. Security Council meeting. “Now it’s taking the Strait of Hormuz hostage, and with it, attempting to take the world’s economy hostage. Well, colleagues, that may be its last act. We’ll see.”
President Trump has threatened to “decimate” Iran’s bridges and power plants unless the regime agrees to a deal to reopen the strait by 8pm ET on Tuesday.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president wrote on Truth Social Truth Tuesday morning.
