US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says that the ousting of the Iranian regime would also mean the end of the Iran-backed terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
“Should the Iranian people choose to end over 46 yrs of hateful & incompetent rule, it could restore the Persian culture of education, art, music, and strength and the end of Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis,” Huckabee writes on his X account.
Mass protests against the Iranian government are rocking the country, with US President Donald Trump threatening to intervene if the regime cracks down harshly on protesters.
