Tucker Carlson claims Trump may be days away from launching a nuclear strike on Iran in move that would mean ‘WW3 is inevitable’ | 2 Nov 2026 | Former Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson has claimed that Donald Trump may be days away from launching a nuclear strike on Iran to destroy its Pickaxe mountain lair. A strike against the underground nuclear site would render World War Three “inevitable,” said the conservative podcaster. He said the U.S. president was under pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu, who he described as “cornered and desperate” following the Israeli election where he lost his majority. “Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one,” Carlson claimed. There has been no official confirmation of the alleged strike from the U.S. or Israel. The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. Carlson cited no documents and relied on an unnamed “informed observer.”
