Prominent US journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed that Washington, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, could launch a nuclear strike on Iran in the coming days.
Globalinfo.az reported that Carlson made the claim in a post on his social media account. He said the possible strike could target Pickaxe Mountain, located in central Iran.
The journalist claimed that Israeli intelligence believes Iran has resumed its uranium enrichment programme in the area. According to Carlson, tunnels beneath the mountain are protected by a granite layer about 90 metres thick, and conventional US weapons are unable to breach it.
Carlson said that for this reason, the use of nuclear weapons could be considered the only military option. He also claimed that Netanyahu regularly appeals to Trump on the matter.
According to the journalist, the US president is expected to make a decision on a possible nuclear strike by November 7. Carlson also said that US Vice President J.D. Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff support reaching a diplomatic agreement with Iran.
