American media personality Tucker Carlson ignited a wide-ranging controversy with a post on the X platform on Monday, claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration “may be days away” from launching a nuclear strike on Iran, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing unnamed sources.
The post garnered millions of views within hours, while neither the White House nor the Israeli government issued any confirmation of his account.
Carlson stated that the potential target was “Mount Picax” in central Iran, where, he said, Israeli intelligence alleges Tehran has resumed uranium enrichment.
He added that no conventional weapon in the U.S. arsenal could penetrate approximately 300 feet (about 90 meters) of solid granite to reach the tunnels, and that “the only military option is a nuclear strike.”
He quoted a “well-informed observer” as saying, “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” adding that “close observers” believe Trump will make his decision “by the end of next week,” specifically by Saturday, November 7.
The site is located in Isfahan Province, about 220 kilometers south of Tehran and roughly two kilometers from the Natanz facility. U.S. intelligence reports, cited by Al Jazeera, indicate that its main halls are situated at least 100 meters beneath rock. Iran denies any nuclear activity at the site.
Carlson linked Israeli pressure to the outcomes of Israeli elections, asserting that Netanyahu is “cornered and desperate” and will be unable to form a government unless Trump intervenes to secure 61 seats for him in the Knesset; otherwise, he faces “investigations and possibly prison.” Carlson concluded that Netanyahu “needs this war.”
