No change in Iran attitude, Hezbollah is Lebanon's true enemy, Huckabee tells 'Post' - interview
“President Trump’s been incredibly clear that he’ll stay with his commitment that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” Huckabee said. “They’re not going to be able to be a continued threat."
Assessment
Huckabee's interview reinforces a hardline U.S. posture toward Iran under Trump, asserting that Tehran's nuclear ambitions and regional influence remain non-negotiable red lines. By directly naming Hezbollah as Lebanon's true adversary, he shifts focus to proxy threats beyond the nuclear file. This signals that the incoming administration intends to maintain maximum pressure, keeping regional allies and adversaries on alert for policy continuity rather than change.
