In Short: According to Defence24, Tucker Carlson, who has previously circulated false information, has been the sole source of reports about a possible US nuclear strike against Iran.
According to Defence24, Tucker Carlson, who has previously circulated false information, has been the sole source of reports about a possible US nuclear strike against Iran.
Defence24 also noted that conventional weapons in the American arsenal cannot penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place.
Defence24 cited an informed observer who claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls Trump daily about the situation.
Despite pressure from Netanyahu, Defence24 stated that the Trump administration is not within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran.
Defence24 reported that after the recent election results, Trump cannot form a government unless he intervenes directly in Israeli politics.
Defence24 also noted that Russia, holder of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, has waged war on non-nuclear Ukraine since February 2022 without breaking Ukrainian resistance.
Defence24 cited a Small Wars Journal analysis that nuclear weapons have been largely unusable against non-nuclear states since 1945.
Washington Examiner reported that it is extraordinarily unlikely that President Trump will order a nuclear strike on Iran.
Trump maintained that negotiations with Iran were progressing but questioned Tehran’s reliability, reiterating that Iran would never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon.
The United States is looking at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site as a possible target for a future strike, US President Donald Trump confirmed during an interview with Newsmax.
What this adds
The report adds that there is no independent confirmation of Trump's administration preparing a nuclear strike on Iran, despite claims from Tucker Carlson.
The sources have not established whether Trump's administration is actively considering a nuclear strike on Iran or if the claims are solely based on Carlson's reporting.
The report does not provide evidence of any specific plans or preparations for a nuclear strike by the Trump administration.
What's confirmed
- “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
- Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran.
What's still developing
- Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely.
- It compares the two current wars with earlier wars between nuclear-armed and non-nuclear states since 1950, then assesses the four constraints usually credited with preventing nuclear use.
