Huckabee: Trump bombing, bankrupting Iran to protect America

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee defended President Trump's Iran strategy, stating that Trump has taken the fight to Iran militarily and economically. Huckabee emphasized that Iran's threat is primarily to America, not just Israel, and that the U.S. is "decimating them economically" after striking them militarily. This comes as Iranian-backed Houthi attacks wounded 73 people in Saudi Arabia and caused fires at oil facilities, which Saudi-led coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki called a "serious escalation." Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command reported redirecting 94 commercial vessels as part of a maritime blockade of Iranian ports. International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi stated that granting the IAEA access to facilities would have "positive repercussions" for Iran, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed continued resistance "with full force until the aggressors are brought to complete regret."
