Drones of unknown origin struck a trade vessel off the coast of Qatar on Sunday as tensions with Iran threaten to end a fragile ceasefire between Tehran and the U.S.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz urged the U.N. security council to adopt a resolution condemning Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
Waltz made the comments during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, saying the world cannot tolerate Iran's belligerence.
'This is what we're pushing here at the United Nations, we cannot and the world should not tolerate an Iranian regime that is trying to choke off the entire world's economy, hold everyone hostage because of a dispute over its nuclear program,' Waltz said. 'It cannot start just throwing sea mines indiscriminately out into the ocean, attacking shipping.
Heck, they've even now started talking about it on Iranian state TV of taking the undersea cables that move financial data, cloud information, and all kinds of important economic information in and out of the gulf, we cannot tolerate a world where two countries have a dispute and one country decides to just take over international waters and hold everyone else hostage and you're seeing the world line up against it. We have over 70 co-sponsors of this latest UN resolution focused on sea mines, the tolling and the other illegal and unacceptable actions by Iran,' he added.
