The Stakscast with Erick Stakelbeck

President Trump has made one thing unmistakably clear: Iran's regime will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
In this exclusive conversation, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joins Erick Stakelbeck from Jerusalem to discuss the rapidly escalating showdown with Tehran, the future of the Abraham Accords, and why the Middle East may be on the verge of its biggest geopolitical transformation in decades.
Ambassador Huckabee explains why the Iranian regime has ignored every opportunity for peace, why President Trump's policy of peace through strength has fundamentally changed the rules of engagement, and why the regime is facing mounting military, economic, and diplomatic pressure.
Ambassador Huckabee also shares a powerful reminder that the conflict in the Middle East is not only geopolitical—it is spiritual. As the region stands at a historic crossroads, he explains why America's relationship with Israel remains vital to peace, security, and the future of the free world.

As Iran’s regime rejects negotiations and continues threatening Israel, American forces, and international shipping, Senator Tom Cotton argues that the United States must finish its operational campaign, dismantle Tehran’s remaining missile and drone capabilities, and maintain the blockade depriving the regime of vital terror funding.

Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, also warns that Communist China is pursuing the largest peacetime military buildup in history, rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, and seeking to replace the United States as the world’s dominant superpower. He explains why America must reduce its dangerous dependence on China for medicines, medical devices, and other critical supplies.

From Iran and China to socialism gaining ground inside the United States, Senator Cotton delivers a clear warning: America must remain strong, confident, and resolute—or risk inviting a direct challenge from its enemies. The threats are gathering. This is no time for weakness.

The battle for the Middle East has entered a dangerous new phase.

Erick Stakelbeck is joined by Foundation for Defense of Democracies President Cliff May and Retired Air Force Brigadier General E. John "Dragon" Teichert for an in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving showdown with the Iranian regime.
