Tucker Carlson claims Trump administration may launch nuclear strike on Iran

In a social media post, Tucker Carlson claimed the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran.

Carlson alleged the target is Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where he stated Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program.

He claimed no conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place.

Carlson alleged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring the Trump administration to authorize the strike, claiming Netanyahu seeks U.S. intervention to secure 61 seats in the Knesset to avoid investigations and potential jail time.

Carlson alleged Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and CIA director John Ratcliffe are pushing to restart major combat operations.

Carlson stated former president Barack Obama opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

He claimed Netanyahu flew to Abu Dhabi on Sept. 27 to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort, but the UAE refused.

Carlson alleged 11 oil supertankers were damaged in Hormuz in October.

He claimed a nuclear strike on Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf and poison the water supply for 100 million people.

Carlson alleged Russia has told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, and that Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other.
