Huckabee Tells Trump to Heed Divine Voice on Iran, Fuels Nuclear Option Debate

The exchange has intensified scrutiny of possible U.S. involvement in attacks on Tehran’s nuclear sites.

The U.S.' new ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee holds a note given to him from President Donald Trump to be placed in the cracks of the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews are allowed to pray, during Huckabee's visit to the holy site in the old city of Jerusalem on April 18, 2025.

Overview

  • U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee sent President Trump a text urging him to listen to the “one voice” from heaven on decisions in the Israel-Iran conflict.
  • Huckabee compared Trump’s dilemma to President Truman’s 1945 atomic decision, a reference widely interpreted as a nudge toward a nuclear strike on Iran.
  • Trump shared Huckabee’s message on Truth Social and wrote “COMPLETE SURRENDER” in pressing Iran to accept his administration’s nuclear terms.
  • Sen. Lindsey Graham praised the ambassador’s message as “spot on,” and Israeli officials led by Defense Minister Israel Katz have framed missile strikes as the sole path to negotiations.
  • The White House is weighing diplomatic missions—including potential envoys—against the option of joining Israeli strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility.
