Tucker Carlson Claims Trump May Consider Nuclear Strike on Iran Amid Netanyahu Pressure
Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson claimed that US President Donald Trump may soon decide to launch a nuclear strike on Iran's underground facility at Pickaxe Mountain, allegedly under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Carlson suggested Netanyahu's political challenges motivate his push for military action. He also warned such a strike could trigger wider conflict. These claims lack official confirmation, and no US or Israeli authorities have publicly verified them. Analysts note the facility's depth limits conventional attacks, making a nuclear option the only military possibility.
