Iran's Window Closing as Trump Weighs Limited Military Strikes and Tucker Carlson sits with Huckabee

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set for a third round of high-stakes nuclear talks with Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva as President Trump weighs limited military strikes. With massive US naval firepower in the region, Israel is on highest alert, preparing for possible Iranian retaliation while the IDF strikes Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Lawmakers warn regime change must come from the Iranian people, while controversy grows over US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s remarks on Israel’s biblical land rights. The third round of negotiations in Geneva comes as pressure intensifies on Tehran. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff says President Trump is puzzled that Iran has not already agreed to a deal, especially given the overwhelming US naval presence in the region. The administration’s position is clear: if Iran does not make meaningful concessions, military options remain on the table. Reports indicate President Trump is considering preliminary, limited military strikes designed to force Iran into compliance. The move would be intended as pressure — not full-scale war — but the risk of escalation remains high. Israel is now on its highest alert level, bracing for retaliation should the US take action. The IDF has already struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in recent days, signaling Israel’s preparation for a broader confrontation. Hezbollah, as Iran’s primary proxy in the north, would likely join any conflict sparked by US action against Tehran. Visiting Congressman Andy Ogles told CBN News in Jerusalem that while change in Iran is possible, it must be organic. He says the Persian people want their country back and that the United States can create a window of opportunity — but without American boots on the ground. According to Ogles, regime change led by Iranians themselves could reshape not just Iran, but the Middle East and even global stability. Ogles argues that Iran’s global terror network has destabilized regions worldwide, and removing that influence would create an opening for peace. He believes the stakes extend far beyond the Middle East. Meanwhile, controversy erupted after US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee commented on biblical land rights in an interview with Tucker Carlson. When asked about Genesis 15 and Israel’s claim to the land, Huckabee said, “It would be fine if they took it all,” though the US Embassy later clarified his remarks were taken out of context. Huckabee emphasized Israel is not seeking to take over neighboring countries but is focused on defending territory it currently occupies and considers legitimate. Congressman Scott Perry, visiting Israel for the first time, told CBN News that many policymakers do not fully grasp how close Israel’s adversaries are or what Israelis face daily. He said seeing the realities on the ground is essential to understanding the complexity of the conflict. CBN News.
