Trump's nuclear strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain to trigger World War III? Tucker Carlson’s warning explained

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson warned on Sunday that the United States might launch a nuclear strike against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, a site reportedly housing Iran's resumption of uranium enrichment. He claimed that this move could prompt other nuclear-armed nations to follow suit, setting the stage for World War III. Carlson specifically alleged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had pressured Trump to authorize the strike, citing the difficulty in penetrating the facility with conventional weapons.

He argued that the first use of tactical nuclear weapons would establish a dangerous precedent, with potential targets including Russia, Pakistan, India, and North Korea. Carlson also contended that the US had recently altered its nuclear policy to make the use of tactical nuclear weapons more likely, and criticized politicians for not voicing concerns about the escalating risk of nuclear conflict.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump renewed his threats to strike Iran, expressing a desire to save lives but suggesting that the use of nuclear weapons might become necessary.
