In a discussion about the possible use of military force against Iran, U.S. media host Tucker Carlson and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee debated how much public opinion really shapes foreign policy. The ambassador stressed that Americans' views are highly valued, while Carlson pushed back, citing polling that suggests only about 21 percent of Americans support war with Iran. He questioned whether such limited backing could justify military action, prompting the response that national policy decisions are not determined solely by opinion polls.
