U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned Iran that the United States may take further action if Iran does not change course, saying Iranian leaders have already seen that U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his threats.
The envoy was asked about comments by Trump indicating that a U.S. armada is heading toward Iran. While declining to specify what action may follow, Huckabee said Iran had been clearly warned before and should not underestimate the president’s resolve.
“Iran will find out when it’s time for them to know,” Huckabee said.
The envoy said Trump remains skeptical of Iranian claims that calm has been restored and executions have stopped, arguing that Tehran’s long history of repression means any assurances would need to be backed by evidence.
Asked whether the region should prepare for another U.S. intervention, he said he did not sense an imminent threat but stressed the volatility of the Middle East and the need for constant vigilance.
Huckabee emphasized that any decision on Iran would rest solely with Trump, adding that those who doubt the president’s willingness to act “haven’t been paying attention.”
