US Ambassador Huckabee: Iran Doubled Ballistic Missile Range to Threaten Europe
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee warns that Iran has doubled its ballistic missile range to 4,100 km, threatening European capitals. He stresses that the US remains Tehran's ultimate target.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee revealed that Iran has doubled the range of its ballistic missiles, enabling them to strike European capitals such as London, Berlin, and Brussels. In a podcast interview with Amir Tsarfati, Huckabee warned against Western complacency regarding the ayatollah regime's military buildup.
Between the summer of 2025 and the spring of 2026, Iran increased its ballistic missile launch capability from 2,000 kilometers to 4,100 kilometers, according to the ambassador. He noted that this capability became evident during an attempted strike on the Diego Garcia military base, which shocked defense officials who did not realize Tehran possessed such range.
Huckabee criticized European nations for failing to appreciate US military actions against Iran, describing their reluctance as spiritual blindness. He emphasized that Israel was never Tehran's ultimate target, stating that for 47 years the Iranian regime has viewed the United States as the main objective, while Israel serves as the appetizer.
Addressing the current status of the Iranian regime, Huckabee stated that Tehran is in its weakest position since 1979, facing severe economic collapse and diminished military strength. He praised the unprecedented military cooperation between Washington and Jerusalem during recent operations, highlighting joint aerial refueling and tactical coordination.
Reflecting on a text message he sent to US President Donald Trump on June 17, 2025, prior to the authorization of operations against nuclear facilities, Huckabee recalled telling the president that his survival of the Pennsylvania assassination attempt prepared him for this historic moment. Trump responded within ten minutes, expressing deep appreciation for the message.
Concluding his remarks, Huckabee addressed biblical geography, explaining his preference for using Judea and Samaria over the West Bank, noting that the vast majority of biblical history occurred in those ancestral territories.
