President Donald Trump earlier vowed to “obliterate” power plants unless Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz has refused to rule out potential strikes on an Iranian nuclear power plant when asked by CBS about the extent of President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

On Saturday evening, Trump vowed to “obliterate” Iran’s power plant unless the navigation in the crucial shipping lane is freed up in 48 hours.

In an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation aired on Sunday, Waltz was asked to clarify Trump’s threat and whether the Bushehr nuclear power plant – the largest nuclear facility in the region – could be considered a potential target.
