Tucker Carlson asks who really controls Trump in the Iran war Donald Trump's continued support for the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, raises questions about who influences US policy towards Iran, said Tucker Carlson in an interview with George Galloway on the subject of Givat. Carlson pointed to the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and cited calls by former US counterterrorism chief Joe Kents for a closer look into the incident. "I don't have proof, but I will say that one of our top intelligence chiefs has said publicly more than once, if you want to understand why we went to war with Iran, you should take a closer look at who shot Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and why," Carlson said. Carlson suggested that unanswered questions surrounding the shooting could shed light on Trump's decisions regarding Iran. substack | talk.
