US Ambassador Huckabee Urges Trump to Join Israel-Iran Conflict Amid Rising Tensions

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sent a text message to President Donald Trump urging him to heed "God's voice" amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, suggesting Trump is the most consequential president in a century and likening the situation to President Harry Truman's leadership during World War II. Huckabee, an evangelical pastor, emphasized his role as Trump's appointed servant and expressed commitment to maintaining the US embassy flag in Israel. The text referenced an assassination attempt on Trump and implied a divine purpose for his presidency during this crisis. President Trump shared Huckabee's message on social media, praising him and signaling a potentially more hawkish stance, stating he wants more than a ceasefire and that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. While the US has not directly engaged in attacks, it has supported Israel's missile defense, and the conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties. Republican figures like Senator Lindsey Graham supported Huckabee's message, framing the conflict in terms of combating Iran's regime and blessing Israel and the US during this critical moment.
