The US ambassador to the UN announced that the standoff between the two countries and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz may last a year or more.

On Friday, November 1, Mike Waltz said in an interview with the "Financial Times" newspaper that an agreement on Iran's nuclear program may not be reached and ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to pre-conflict levels even next year.

He announced that Washington is ready to continue the confrontation with Iran in the long term and emphasized that America has the ability to continue the blockade of Iran's ports in the foreseeable future.

At the same time, Feda Hossein Maliki, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament, warned in an interview with the Russian news agency Ryanovesti that any support from the countries of the region to the United States would be considered a hostile action if the military conflict started again.
