US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has sparked controversy after alleging that those opposed to the US war on Iran are suffering from "spiritual darkness" and have been "blinded by Satan." The remarks, made during a recent live interview with Israeli commentator Amir Tsarfati, have drawn harsh criticism from conservative commentators who called for Huckabee's removal from his diplomatic role.
The comments, posted online over the weekend, are part of a growing debate over the US military action in Iran. When asked about the attitude of European governments towards the US intervention, Huckabee responded by asserting that the issue is "spiritual" in nature, suggesting that Satan has "blinded the minds" of those who oppose the war.
"I really do believe that there is something deeper than just the obvious geopolitical issues at play," Huckabee added.
