Tucker Carlson claims Trump weighs nuclear strike on Iran's Natanz facility

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Tucker Carlson has claimed Donald Trump may soon decide whether to use a US nuclear weapon against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility near Natanz, with Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly pressing him daily on the matter. The claim is not confirmed as US policy. Carlson alleges a split in Trump's circle, with Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper favoring renewed combat operations, while JD Vance and Steve Witkoff reportedly support continued negotiations. He attaches a November 7 deadline to the alleged decision. A nuclear strike would mark the first use of such a weapon in warfare since 1945. The claims remain unverified, and no official confirmation has been provided regarding any planned military action against the Iranian site.
