Amb. Waltz on Hormuz: Imagine Throwing Mines in the Straits of Gibraltar, Then Start Charging Shipping to Pass, ‘We Have to Address These Violations’

RUSH EXCERPT:WALTZ: So what are we asking? What is this next evolution of 20 eight? 17 asking the international community requires Iran to do some very simple, straightforward. Thanks, cease attack on ceased, it’s attacks on commercial shipping, cease mining and. Remove, it’s minds from an international waterway, cease tolling charging illegal tolls in the Strait of Hormuz and allow the you in to move forward with humanitarian aid lifesaving a through that international court. Or it’s really just that simple. The problem is just this: week, Iran, own state media, announced that the regime has lodged what it calls the Persian Gulf states authority where it seeks to demand that all ship captain captains from international shipping, commercial shipping, civilian shipping, basically have to check in and pay a bribe pay a toll in order to use these international waterway. So that doesn’t just affect this region, it infects the entire world. Imagine imagine if we had countries regardless of the conflict, regardless of what you think about the conflict or who started what imagine if you had two countries hypothetically, like Spain and Morocco, have some type of dispute and then throw oh see mine’s into the straits of gibraltar and then start trying to charge shipping to pass through the straits of gibraltar in a cynical bid for leverage with the other side. Collective punishment of the entire world to try to resolve some type of dispute, it’s unacceptable to moral and it’s illegal in international law. So. This should be a simple demand. The removal of mine’s from an international waterway that you cannot exact illegal tolls. We have to address these violations here in the council and we have to ask ourselves if a country chooses to oppose such a simple proposition: do they really want peace"
