‘Iranians know what they have to do’ to avoid escalation, US ambassador to Israel says
Mike Huckabee, the United States ambassador to Israel, said Iran is aware of what steps it must take to resolve tensions peacefully as nuclear talks unfold in Geneva.
“The Iranians know what they have to do if they want to resolve this peacefully,” Huckabee told Ynet, reiterating Washington’s position that any agreement must mean “no enrichment, no nuclear weapons.” He said concerns also extend to Iran’s missile program and regional activities.
Asked whether the negotiations would continue, Huckabee said the outcome depends on Tehran. “I don’t know. It really depends on what they come to the table with,” he said, confirming that US envoys are representing Washington in the talks.
“Let’s hope for some reasonable approach from the Iranians,” he added. “But it’s 47 years and we’re still waiting on one.”
