US envoy warns Iran over Hormuz closure At an emergency United Nations Security Council session convened at Bahrain’s request following Iranian strikes, US envoy to the UN Security Council Mike Waltz warned Iran against its threats to close the Strait of Hormuz. “We say to Iran that the closure of international waterways is unacceptable and is not considered self-defence,” Waltz said on Thursday.
