And his UN ambassador won’t rule out ANOTHER YEAR of stalemate.
Mike Waltz says the U.S. Navy can keep blockading Iranian ports “for the foreseeable future,” while Washington piles on even more economic pressure.
Asked whether the U.S. could still be stuck in the same situation next year, with no nuclear deal and no normal traffic through Hormuz, Waltz dodged the hypothetical.
He hopes Iran will “come to the table,” but Washington wants its highly enriched uranium gone and a deal restricting domestic enrichment before calling it done.
Meanwhile, fuel prices are soaring, fertilizer supplies are strained, and Trump’s approval is hovering around 31%, with the midterms less than 2 weeks away.
November 3 is on the calendar. An end date for the war? Still nowhere in sight.
