US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz has reiterated that infrastructure operated by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including bridges and power plants, constitutes legitimate military targets for the United States. Waltz stated that "everything is on the table" and that President Trump is willing to escalate to de-escalate, while also claiming such strikes would not constitute a war crime. He also repeated an unsubstantiated claim about protester deaths during recent Iranian riots. These comments signal continued US willingness to escalate military pressure on Iran.
