Carlson: US nuclear strike on Tehran under Netanyahu's pressure

Washington – Agencies: Conservative American media personality Tucker Carlson revealed yesterday that U.S. President Donald Trump might order a nuclear strike on Iran, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. See page 12. In a post on the X platform, Carlson stated that, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration could be just days away from launching a nuclear strike against Iran. Carlson added that the target of the potential U.S. strike is the Mount Fars facility in central Iran, which Israeli intelligence says Iran is using to reactivate its uranium enrichment program. Carlson said no conventional weapon in the U.S. arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite rock at Mount Fars to destroy the tunnels believed to house enrichment operations. He continued, “Thus, the only available military option is to deliver a nuclear strike, and Netanyahu has exerted intense pressure to push for this option. One informed observer says Bibi (Netanyahu) calls Trump daily on this matter.” Carlson said Netanyahu has exerted maximum pressure on his closest allies within the U.S. administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Brad Cooper.
