Tucker Carlson predicts US nuclear strike on Iran under Netanyahu's pressure

mk.ru (Russian) —

American journalist Tucker Carlson has suggested the US could launch a nuclear strike on Iran within days, citing pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the Trump administration. Carlson wrote on X that the possible target would be Mount Picax, where Israeli intelligence believes Iran has resumed uranium enrichment. He argued conventional weapons cannot penetrate the nearly 100-meter-deep facility, making a nuclear strike the only option. Netanyahu is reportedly pushing for this action due to Israel's unstable political situation after parliamentary elections. Trump has not made a final decision, with Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff favoring a deal with Tehran, while Iran denies the existence of the alleged nuclear site.
