Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated that Iran's missile range has expanded significantly in the past year, growing from 2,000 to 4,100 kilometers. This extended range now allows Iranian missiles to potentially strike major European capitals, including London, Berlin, and Brussels. Huckabee made these remarks during an interview on Amir Tsarfati's podcast.

Huckabee sharply criticized Europe's reaction to the U.S. operation in Iran, expressing disappointment that it did not lead to a greater sense of urgency. He observed that European nations still seem to believe America should not have intervened, which he described as "spiritual darkness and spiritual blindness." He questioned how such a perception could be explained otherwise.

The former ambassador emphasized that Israel has always been a secondary target for Tehran, with the United States being the ultimate objective. He noted that for 47 years, the Iranian regime has designated America as its primary target, viewing Israel as merely an appetizer. Huckabee asserted that Iran is currently in its weakest position since 1979, acknowledging economic and military vulnerabilities and being on the verge of collapse.

He also lauded the close military cooperation between Washington and Jerusalem during the recent operation, describing it as an unprecedented partnership. Huckabee highlighted the joint flights of U.S. and Israeli aircraft, with mutual refueling efforts symbolizing the strong alliance.
