Ambassador Huckabee to Iran: "Trump Keeps His Promises"—Warnings of a New "Midnight Hammer" Attack

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated on Saturday that President Donald Trump does not make "empty threats" regarding Iran. In an interview with Israeli TV, Huckabee urged the Iranian leadership and people to take Trump’s warnings literally, noting that the President is a man of his word who prefers "the art of the deal" but remains ready to deploy overwhelming force.

Huckabee explicitly referenced the success of Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025, where U.S. stealth bombers and Tomahawk missiles severely degraded Iran’s nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. While confirming that a final decision for a new strike has not yet been made, the Ambassador warned that if diplomacy fails, the next response will be even more decisive. He assured Israelis that the U.S. stands ready, advising them to remain vigilant while maintaining their daily routines.
