UK Guardian reported today: "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered US diplomats in the Middle East to avoid making public statements that could escalate tensions or undermine Trump's negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program. The directive came after the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, made controversial remarks. Huckabee stated that Israel has biblical rights to most areas of the Middle East, which shocked White House officials and may make Iran's position more hardened."
Comments: Rubio's urgent "silencing" of diplomats exposes the awkward situation of the Trump administration, which wants to talk to Iran while being dragged into trouble by extreme statements. The US ambassador to Israel's statement about "biblical rights for Israel over most regions of the Middle East" directly put American diplomacy on fire, angering the Arab world and giving Iran a strong argument, seriously disrupting Trump's negotiation rhythm.
