US at UN: Trump a man of action, all options on the table
United States President Donald Trump “is a man of action, not of endless speeches as we see at the United Nations.” US Ambassador Michael Waltz said this in his speech to the Security Council. «Iran – he added – says it is ready for dialogue but its actions say the opposite. This is a regime that has ruled through repression, violence and intimidation and has been destabilizing the Middle East for decades. Enough now.” “All options – he added – are on the table to stop the massacre and no one knows this better than the leadership of the Iranian regime.”
