Tucker Carlson Alleges Netanyahu Pressures Trump for Nuclear Strike
Tucker Carlson claims Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring President Donald Trump to authorize a nuclear strike on an Iranian military facility.
Commentator Tucker Carlson alleged on November 2, 2026, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring President Donald Trump to authorize a nuclear strike on Iran's Pickax Mountain facility. Carlson claims Netanyahu is driven by a desperate need to maintain power following recent elections and asserts that conventional weapons cannot penetrate the facility's 300-foot granite shielding.
According to Carlson, Trump may reach a decision by November 7. While Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly favor diplomacy, other reports indicate the United States has deployed additional military assets to the region. Senator Chris Murphy stated he was briefed on potential operations and warned they could escalate the conflict.
No official confirmation has come from Washington or Jerusalem. Carlson cited an unnamed observer and claimed Netanyahu sought failed support from the United Arab Emirates during a secret visit on September 27. President Trump previously stated in October that he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran.
