US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed to Fox News on Saturday that Israel had warned the United States about a specific Iranian assassination plan against US President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Huckabee also stated that he saw no significant evidence that there was any “peaceful part” of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

“What the Iranians are saying and doing is nothing that they haven’t been doing for 47 years,” Huckabee explained. “This is a longstanding ‘death to America’ chant they’ve had. They really haven’t changed.”<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal,\u00a0which had previously reported on Israel’s warning to the US<\/a>, wrote that some US officials were concerned that Israel’s motivation behind revealing the assassination plot had been to entice the United States back into war against Iran.<\/p>\n

According to the WSJ, officials noted that Israel may have presented Trump with a single piece of information which, in isolation, may push him to begin bombing Iran again.<\/p>\n

Israel’s Embassy to the United States denied the\u00a0WSJ’s claim, stating that Israel had shared its intelligence with the United States as part of the two nations’ partnership, without ulterior motive.<\/p>\n

“Orders have already been given, and the US Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one-year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran,” warned Trump.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Trump told the New York Post he left instructions for the US to retaliate if Iran<\/a> succeeds in assassinating him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve left instructions, if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d the New York Post cited Trump as saying.<\/p>\n
