As of early Tuesday, Michael Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, backed these threats. He stated that all options are on the table regarding Iran.

Waltz described Trump’s proposed strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure as “perfectly acceptable.” He argued that such actions would not violate international law.

In his remarks, Waltz referenced historical precedents—pointing to World War II when infrastructure was targeted during warfare. “That would be an escalatory ladder. And if you go back in the history of warfare…we bombed and took down bridges, other infrastructure,” he explained.

Details remain unconfirmed about how these potential strikes would align with ongoing tensions in the region. A ceasefire in Lebanon was implemented on April 14, 2026, following negotiations involving the U.S., Israel, and Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened heavy consequences for Lebanon if Hezbollah is not disarmed. This backdrop complicates Waltz’s statements as Iranian influence remains a significant factor in Lebanese politics.

Waltz also claimed that the Iranian regime hides military infrastructure within civilian areas—”The Iranian regime in particular…has a long history of actually deliberately hiding military infrastructure in hospitals, schools…” he noted.

He concluded that the U.S. could take out this infrastructure relatively easily—a statement that underscores escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran amid ongoing regional conflicts.
