New york: Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, stated that the U.S.-led war on Iran is intended to eliminate a threat Tehran has posed to the Middle East for decades. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Waltz described the military progress over the past week as ‘truly extraordinary,’ claiming Iran’s air force and air defenses have been largely destroyed and more than 40 Iranian navy ships have been sunk.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Waltz emphasized that President Joe Biden and other U.S. officials are outlining the campaign as a measure to ‘protect the American people and eliminate this threat once and for all.’ The ongoing military actions are being presented as a decisive step to address the longstanding challenges posed by Iran in the region.
