US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz has said that Iran is becoming isolated in the world because of its actions. He alleged that Iran is carrying out illegal activities in international sea lanes. This includes laying mines in the sea and collecting toll from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Mike Waltz, posting on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), said that the resolution brought against Iran in the United Nations Security Council has received the support of 113 countries. Iran’s activities have been criticized in this resolution.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz also said that countries like India, Japan and South Korea have also supported this initiative. America says that Iran’s activities are affecting international maritime trade and security. The Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the most important sea routes in the world, from where a large amount of oil and gas is supplied. In such a situation, the increasing tension there has become a matter of concern for the whole world.

Iran is ISOLATED in its illegal actions to mine international waters and charge tolls. See the list of 113 co-sponsors of the UN Security Council Resolution – including India, Japan, and South Korea – demanding Iran STOP its illegal and unacceptable behavior https://t.co/l5bXAw2aX1

Ceasefire between America and Iran

There has been a ceasefire between America and Iran for several weeks. The situation between the two countries had become so bad that the risk of war had increased in the entire West Asia. After this, in April 2026, a temporary ceasefire i.e. ceasefire was implemented between the two sides, due to which the situation calmed down for some time. US President Donald Trump later announced to extend the ceasefire, but also maintained pressure on Iran. America continues to take a tough stance regarding Iran’s military activities and its nuclear program. On the other hand, Iran has clearly warned that if America attacks again, it will be given a strong response. Iran says that it will take every necessary step to protect its security and interests.
