US Ambassador to the United Nations Waltz has declared that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in 'absolute disarray' due to devastating attacks on its leadership and the ongoing US naval blockade. He emphasized that President Donald Trump is ultimately deciding what gets in and out of Iran through the blockade, which has 'completely turned the tables' on the country. The statement reinforces the Trump administration's position that military and economic pressure is effectively degrading Iran's military capabilities. This comes amid heightened tensions, with Iran refusing talks while the blockade continues and the US Navy massing carriers in the region.
