Trump’s Approach and Nuclear Program
Addressing Iranian opposition groups, Huckabee said, “Listen closely to what the President says and trust his statements. He will deliver on his promise.” He claimed Trump is seeking a peaceful solution to freeze Iran’s nuclear program, which is why no final decision on military action has yet been made.
Huckabee praised Trump’s negotiation skills, stating, “We must never forget he is an expert negotiator. If he succeeds, that is the optimal outcome.”
He also warned that the United States would not hesitate to repeat its June 22, 2025, attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities if deemed necessary.

Rising Military Tensions
The United States has recently increased its military presence in the Middle East, coinciding with Trump’s threats toward Iran. Tehran accuses Washington of using sanctions, pressure, and destabilization tactics to justify foreign intervention aimed at regime change. Iranian officials have vowed a “comprehensive and unprecedented” response to any attack, even if limited.
Background: June 2025 Escalation
On June 13, 2025, 'Israel', with US support, conducted a twelve-day assault on Iran targeting military, nuclear, and civilian sites, and assassinated key figures. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on 'Israeli' military and intelligence facilities.
On June 22, the US struck Iranian nuclear sites, claiming to neutralize them, prompting Iran to target the Al-Udeid base in Qatar. A ceasefire between 'Israel' and Iran was declared on June 24.
The United States and 'Israel' accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, while Tehran insists its program is for peaceful purposes, including electricity generation.
