Waltz: ‘It is up to President Trump’ to determine if Iran violated ceasefire

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, stated that President Trump is prioritizing diplomacy with Iran before considering military action, despite ongoing tensions. Trump maintains that the ceasefire with Iran remains intact, even as both nations have exchanged fire. The U.S. has proposed a plan for Iran to gradually open the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. eases its blockade, aiming to negotiate Iran’s nuclear activities. Retired Adm. William McRaven, however, believes the ceasefire has been violated and doubts a significant nuclear deal can be reached in the proposed 30-day negotiation period. Iran has responded to the U.S. proposal through Pakistani mediators, but details remain undisclosed. The situation highlights the complexities of international diplomacy and the challenges of achieving lasting peace.
