Tucker Carlson claims Trump admin could soon launch nuclear strike on Iran with Netanyahu ‘pushing hard’

American political commentator Tucker Carlson claimed on social media that US President Donald Trump may launch a nuclear strike against Iran, possibly targeting Pickaxe Mountain in central Iran where Iranian intelligence claims the country has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. Carlson suggests that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring Trump to take military action, as Netanyahu is desperate to return to power.

Carlson also noted that Vice President Mike Pence and his envoy Steve Witkoff have been arguing in favor of a deal with Tehran. Trump's recent threat to resume strikes against Iran ahead of the US midterm elections has raised concerns about the possibility of a nuclear attack. The potential consequences of such an attack, including radioactive fallout affecting the Persian Gulf and threatening the water supplies of 100 million people, have also been highlighted.

However, Carlson's claims are unverified, and it remains to be seen whether Trump will ultimately decide to attack Iran after the elections or if a peaceful resolution can be reached.
