Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, in an interview with Al Arabiya English, said about the war in Iran that the Iranian government has suffered two major blows, and it is expected that after that, it will gradually realize that whenever Donald Trump, the U.S. president, determines that military action is the only option, he will take it seriously.

Huckabee, referring to Trump’s statements, said: “He has told them that if they do not give up their ambitions to obtain nuclear weapons and enrichment, and do not keep the Strait of Hormuz open, a large-scale military confrontation will be one of the options on the table.”

Asked whether Trump would take such action or not, Huckabee said: “I can’t answer this question because he is the only elected person and the only one with the authority to make that decision and then implement it. But I trust his judgment. He has made the right judgments on this matter.”
