Carlson Claims Trump Weighs Nuclear Strike on Iran

Tucker Carlson claimed, citing an unnamed source and no documentary evidence, that President Donald Trump could decide within days whether to launch a nuclear strike on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain facility, allegedly under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Neither the White House nor the Pentagon has confirmed a change in nuclear policy or plans for a strike. Trump has publicly ruled out using nuclear weapons but has left open the possibility of renewed conventional attacks on Iran. Carlson’s claims drew alarm and criticism; resurfaced clips show he has raised the possibility of a U.S. nuclear strike for months, and Laura Loomer called him a liar online.
