Waltz emphasized President Donald Trump's firm stance against Iran acquiring nuclear capabilities, asserting that such a development would pose a significant threat not only to Israel but to global stability.
According to The Daily Wire, The Washington Post recently indicated that Israel "is likely to attempt a strike on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities in the first six months of 2025."
