Trump’s ambassador to U.N. says there’s no timeline on Iran war’s end

Waltz said U.S. pressure is working as a new NBC News poll found 62% of voters say the war has not been worth it.

  • On Sunday, Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump's United Nations ambassador, declined to provide a timeline for ending the Iran war, which has persisted nearly seven months despite Trump's initial prediction of a quick victory.
  • Iran-Aligned Houthi militants escalated regional violence Saturday with strikes on Riyadh, while ramping up a ground offensive near the Bab al-Mandab Strait that threatens global shipping routes and commercial transit.
  • A new NBC News poll found 62 percent of voters view the conflict as not worth it, while 57 percent said they would be less likely to support candidates who back the war.
  • Breaking with the administration, seven House Republicans including Iowa Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Iowa Representative Zach Nunn, and South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace voted last Tuesday to restrict further unauthorized military action against Iran.
  • As the conflict approaches its seventh month, the White House maintains its strategy is working, though the war's economic impact and duration create mounting political challenges for Republicans ahead of the November midterms.
