On November 2, 2026, it was reported that Donald Trump may make a decision regarding a nuclear strike on Iran by November 7. This information was shared by American commentator Tucker Carlson, who highlighted the pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Target of the Nuclear Strike
According to Carlson, a likely target for the strike is an underground facility in the area of Mount Pikaqs in central Iran, where, according to Israeli intelligence, uranium enrichment has resumed. This site is located beneath 90 meters of granite, making it difficult to destroy with conventional weapons.
Pressure from Netanyahu
Netanyahu is actively seeking a nuclear strike, reportedly calling Trump every day. Carlson notes that the pressure from the Israeli Prime Minister is linked to his domestic political issues, as he has been unable to form a government without Trump’s support following the recent elections. Losing power could expose Netanyahu to investigations and potential imprisonment.
International Consequences
Carlson warns that a potential nuclear strike could lead to serious consequences, including:
- radioactive contamination of the Persian Gulf;
- setting a precedent for the use of nuclear weapons by other countries;
- reactions from Russia, which has already warned about possible implications for Ukraine.
At present, Trump is hesitating, listening to the opinions of his Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff, who advocate for a diplomatic resolution with Iran. Carlson emphasizes that if a nuclear strike is carried out, it could trigger the start of World War III, which would be short but definitive.
