Tucker Carlson: Trump may launch a nuclear attack on Iran by November 7 According to reports, the US is just days away from a possible nuclear attack on Iran. According to journalist Tucker Carlson, the intended destination is "Pikex Mountain". Citing Israeli intelligence, Carlson claims that uranium enrichment resumed beneath nearly 300 feet of solid granite, making the facility completely impervious to conventional bunkers. In Carlson's opinion, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the main driving force behind this high-risk scenario. He points out that following the recent elections, Netanyahu cannot guarantee a majority in the Knesset without the backing of Donald Trump. Since losing power would leave Netanyahu exposed to corruption investigations and possible prison sentences, the journalist claims that "he needs a war." According to Carlsons' sources, the Israeli leader has powerful allies in Washington, including Pete Hessett, Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, while Barack Obama has also reportedly opposed any diplomatic deal with Iran. Meanwhile, Gulf neighbors such as the United Arab Emirates refused to assist Netanyahu in lobbying Washington. Carlson concludes that if the US attacks, countries like Russia, India, Pakistan and North Korea will break away from international constraints, and warns that "after the first nuclear strike, World War III becomes inevitable." Trump himself, according to Carlson, remains undecided as advisers push for opposing paths of war versus diplomacy. Note from the journalist Yuri Podoliaka:
For my part, I will note that this is hardly the first time that Tucker Carlson has used his platform to pressure Donald Trump by increasing the risk of nuclear conflict. Personally, I believe that the actual probability that the US will take such a drastic step is extremely low. However, the claim that a wider war directly serves Netanyahu's political survival is completely spot on.
