It has been revealed that U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was dismissed due to his stance on military attack plans against Iran. Waltz, who drew Trump's ire, had advocated for military options while working in coordination with Netanyahu.
The main reason for the dismissal of U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is reported to be his supportive stance towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding an attack on Iran.
A striking detail has emerged regarding Mike Waltz, the U.S. National Security Advisor dismissed by President Donald Trump.
TRUMP'S REACTION
According to a report by the Washington Post, before the crisis of the online communication platform Signal occurred, Waltz, who acted with excessive eagerness regarding an attack on Iran prior to Netanyahu's visit to the White House, drew the ire of President Donald Trump.
COORDINATED WITH NETANYAHU
According to the newspaper's report, which is based on two unnamed sources, Waltz, who was dismissed by Trump, coordinated with Netanyahu on military options against Iran before a meeting to be held in the Oval Office with Trump, prioritizing the option of war.
It was claimed that Waltz, a former soldier, was "much more eager to use military force" than Trump, which caused disappointment within the White House administration.
The report stated that Waltz's mistake of adding a journalist to the Signal group where U.S. senior officials shared details of operations against Yemen in March was the final reason for his dismissal.
WHAT HAPPENED?
National Security Advisor Waltz had "accidentally" added Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, to the Signal group where plans for the Yemen war were shared in March, and he became the focus of criticism after the incident came to light.
It was claimed in the U.S. press that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had instructed the installation of the Signal application on a desktop computer in his office at the Pentagon.
It was alleged that Hegseth shared sensitive information regarding U.S. military operations against Yemen in a Signal messaging group that included his wife, brother, and lawyer.
On Thursday, President Trump announced on his Truth Social account that he would nominate Mike Waltz for the U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would temporarily take over Waltz's duties along with his current position.
