(FOX NEWS) – U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee advised U.S. citizens who are seeking to evacuate from Israel on Wednesday.
He directed Americans to a program that guides those who wish to depart toward evacuation flights as well as cruse ships.
“Urgent notice! American citizens wanting to leave Israel–The U.S. Embassy in Israel is working on evacuation flights & cruise ship departures. You must enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) You will be alerted w/ updates,” he wrote, providing a link to the program.
President Donald Trump says he has given Iran the “ultimate ultimatum” regarding his demand for an unconditional surrender.
Trump made the comments to reporters during Wednesday press conference during which he also said the U.S. may or may not join Israel in striking Iran in the coming days.
“Have you given Iran an ultimatum?” a reporter asked.
“You could say so, the ultimate ultimatum,” Trump responded.
Earlier, Trump had emphasized that the U.S. would never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also mocked Iran as “defenseless,” and said he has not made up his mind about striking Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s regime.
