Tucker Carlson Claims Trump May Consider Nuclear Strike on Iran Amid Israeli Pressure
Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson claimed that US President Donald Trump may soon consider a nuclear strike on Iran's underground Pickaxe Mountain facility, allegedly under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Carlson asserted that conventional weapons cannot penetrate the site, making a nuclear option the only military choice. He linked Netanyahu's push to his political challenges following recent Israeli elections. These claims remain unconfirmed by US or Israeli officials. Carlson also warned such a strike could escalate into a wider nuclear conflict.
