President Reagan was right almost 50 years ago when he warned the Cuban people that their supposed leaders would do nothing but line their own pockets under the guise of Communism.

Iran International English @IranIntl_EnEditor’s note: We have removed an earlier post based on a Financial Times report after reviewing the transcript and finding that the report mischaracterized remarks by @USAmbUN Mike Waltz.
Adam Kredo @Kredo0Anything for the necessary headline, even if it’s wrong… 🤷
Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUNGarbage, completely fabricated headline from @FT and @ahauslohner. The description of my comments in this article as well as in the podcast is conjecture on their part and they should correct it immediately. Here is the full exchange: “How long do you think it'll take to get Iran to capitulate under this status quo pressure?” “Well, we'll see. The president and the U.S. Navy can maintain this blockade for their foreseeable future. The maximum pressure campaign is only tightening. The regime, which controls 40-50% of the Iranian economy, continues to suffer under the pressure. So our pursuit of a diplomatic solution is bolstered and backed by both economic and military, if necessary. That's the president's decision—pressure.” “Do you think this could still be largely the status quo a year from now?” “I'm not gonna put out hypotheticals. One would hope that they'll come to the table in a meaningful way before that. “But if they don't—“ “Well, again, these are decisions for the president, how long he wants to sustain the blockade, how long he wants to pursue a diplomatic track with a mix of economic, diplomatic, and military pressure. Those are the decisions and the tough decisions and the hard truth that the American people elected him to follow and to do.”
Sophia Tupolev @SophiaTupolevEditorial note: Earlier @c14english ran a post based on an FT report. After reviewing the transcript, we are removing the post as it inaccurately characterizes Amb. Waltz’s comments, saying he said something he didn’t say. After the Sabbath in Israel we will post a correction via @c14english - @USAmbUN
