Waltz responded on Sunday, saying &#8220;when you have a regime that has its grips in so much critical infrastructure that&#8217;s using it to further, not only the repression of its own people, to attack its neighbors and in contravention of U.N. sanctions, to march towards a nuclear weapon, then that makes those legitimate targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pressed by Margaret Brennan on water desalinization&#8217;s link to the energy infrastructure and its implications, Waltz said &#8220;I have no doubt that the president, the Pentagon, their team, will ensure that what they target is geared towards the military infrastructure of Iran.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s threat to &#8220;hit and obliterate&#8221; Iran&#8217;s power plants came a day after Mr. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116263563453969628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> the Strait of Hormuz would have to be &#8220;guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it.&#8221; Waltz said the two statements are &#8220;not necessarily mutually exclusive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Waltz said that Italy, Germany, France, Japan and other countries have committed to help with the effort to ensure safe passage through the waterway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we are seeing our allies come around as they should, but at the same time, the president is not going to stand for this regime as it&#8217;s threatened and tried for five decades to hold the world&#8217;s energy supplies hostage under its genocidal intent,&#8221; Waltz said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
