US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says only Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump know if there will be a renewed military operation against Iran, according to Al Jazeera.

Speaking to Newsmax TV, Huckabee was asked whether political uncertainty in Israel could lead to striking Iran.

“I think the US and Israel will make the decision based on what’s best for the two countries,” he said. “President Trump will make it based on what’s best for America, and the [Israeli] Prime Minister will make that decision based on what’s best for Israel and its security.”

“Frankly, there are only two people on the planet who know if something is going to happen and, if so, when,” he said, referring to Trump and Netanyahu.
