American journalist Tucker Carlson has reported that U.S. authorities may launch a nuclear strike against Iran within days under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The statement was made on November 2 via Carlson’s social media platform X.
Carlson stated: “The Trump administration may be a few days away from launching a nuclear strike on Iran.” He identified Mount Pickax as a potential target, noting that Iranian intelligence indicates Tehran could resume uranium enrichment activities at the facility. Carlson claimed Netanyahu is actively seeking to strike this site.
Carlson indicated a decision on the matter could be made by November 7. Additionally, he reported that while some individuals in Trump’s administration support diplomatic negotiations with Iran, Israeli leadership remains urgent about escalating military operations against Tehran.
According to sources in the United States and Israel, Netanyahu requested during a phone call with President Trump on November 1 that military actions against Iran be resumed immediately following U.S. congressional elections. However, Trump has not yet finalized further actions and is reportedly providing additional time for diplomatic talks with Iran.
