U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned on Monday that Iran’s ambitions pose a direct threat not only to Israel but to the United States itself, saying Tehran ultimately seeks to undermine and destroy America.
Speaking at a high-level conference hosted by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, Huckabee said U.S. policy toward Iran should be understood in a broader strategic context. “The president has made it clear this isn’t only about Israel,” he said. “Iran’s ultimate objective is the United States.”
The conference, titled “Israel–U.S. Relations: An Alliance in Transition? Interests, Values, and Community Amid Changes,” brought together senior officials, diplomats, and security experts to discuss shared challenges facing Washington and Jerusalem, including Iran, the war in Gaza, regional instability, and future defense cooperation.
Throughout his remarks, Huckabee framed Iran’s hostility toward Israel and the United States as inseparable, noting that Iranian leaders have openly threatened both countries for decades. Israel, he said, is often viewed by Tehran as the nearer and more accessible target, but the broader aim remains confronting American power and Western influence.
