Summary
Nikki Haley said Trump should warn Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin they will face "force" if Russia and China keep supplying Iran with drones, satellite imagery and other military support.
Haley argued pressure on Tehran will not be enough because Iran’s allies are helping sustain its war effort, and said cutting that backing is key to weakening the regime.
Trump on Wednesday again threatened to hit Iran "hard" after U.S. strikes followed Iran’s downing of a U.S. helicopter, while pressing Tehran to sign a nuclear deal.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian answered that Iran would "stand firm against any pressure," as Haley said Tehran is using talks to stall and preserve its nuclear capability and position in the Strait of Hormuz.
The comments add to a conflict now stretching beyond 3 months, with Haley urging the U.S. and Israel to "finish what they started."
