US President Donald Trump is giving negotiations with Iran “some space,” his UN ambassador says, after two nights passed without strikes on the country.
UN ambassador Mike Waltz tells “Fox News Sunday” that the United States remained “locked and loaded” for more attacks and that “more assets have gone into the region,” but that Trump is “giving talks some space — he’s giving it a little bit of room.”
Prior to Friday, the US military had announced strikes on Iran for 13 consecutive nights, in the largest rekindling of the war since an April ceasefire.
