Tucker Carlson claims that Washington is considering a nuclear attack on Iran under Israeli pressure. According to a public statement published on social media by the American political commentator Tucker Carlson, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is exerting intense pressure on the White House to launch a tactical nuclear attack against the Mount HaPix underground facility (Kolang Kuah). Carlson claimed that Israeli intelligence claims that Tehran has restarted nuclear enrichment deep beneath the Granite Complex near Natanz, arguing that because conventional US munitions cannot penetrate 300 feet of rock, Pentagon officials including War Secretary Pete Hegset and CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper are advocating a nuclear deployment next to Tel Aviv. Carlson also claimed that Netanyahu's push for an immediate military escalation is motivated by internal political survival after the recent parliamentary elections in Israel, in which the prime minister is still unable to assemble a coalition of 61 seats for the Knesset. "Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After the election results last week, he will not be able to form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as Prime Minister and on his way to contempt, investigations and possibly prison. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war," he wrote. Citing anonymous well-known observers, Carlson claimed that former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Marco Rubio oppose the current peace talks in Doha, while Vice President J. Dee Vance and diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff are advising President Donald Trump to pursue a negotiated settlement instead of executing an attack decision by November 7. The claims - which have not been verified - warned that a US nuclear attack would cause a catastrophic regional radioactive fallout across the Persian Gulf's water supply and cause immediate global spread.
