While discussions about the possibility of a new military conflict between the USA and Iran continue, it has been claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring US President Donald Trump to restart the attacks.
According to the news of US-based Axios dated November 1, Netanyahu asked Trump to launch a new military operation against Iran immediately after the US midterm elections on November 3. The news, based on US and Israeli sources, stated that Trump wanted to give more time to diplomatic negotiations and that the two leaders discussed this issue in their phone call on October 31.
While allegations of disagreement between Washington and Tel Aviv regarding the timing of a possible attack on Iran are on the agenda, a more striking statement came from US journalist Tucker Carlson. Carlson claimed that Netanyahu pressured Trump to use nuclear weapons against Iran.
Stating that US President Donald Trump's administration is under pressure from Netanyahu, Carlson claimed that as a result, the Washington administration could launch a nuclear attack against Iran within a few days.
Carlson said, "The target will be Kazma Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate the nearly 300-foot-thick monolithic granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment activities are assumed to be taking place; the only military option available is a nuclear strike." he said.
Claiming that Netanyahu "called Trump every day" to implement this option, Carlson stated that the Tel Aviv administration was cornered and desperate.
Following the election results in Israel, Carlson stated that it is not possible for Netanyahu to form a government unless Trump directly intervenes and helps Israeli politics and said, "Otherwise, he will lose his seat as prime minister. A shameful end, investigations and possibly a prison sentence await him. Netanyahu has to stay close to Trump. He needs this war." shared his opinion.
For this purpose, Carlson claimed that Netanyahu applied "maximum pressure" to senior officials of the Washington administration, including US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and US Central Command Commander (CENTCOM) Admiral Brad Cooper. "Both of them oppose a negotiated settlement of the war, which they have managed extremely poorly, and are pushing for the resumption of large-scale combat operations." made his assessment.
Carlson claimed that Netanyahu wanted to involve the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the "final attack" against Iran on September 27, but the UAE refused.
"A NUCLEAR ATTACK WILL RADICALLY ACCELERATE THE DESTRUCTION"
Emphasizing that the radioactive fallout caused by an above-ground explosion on Kazma Mountain will pollute the Persian Gulf and poison the water supply of 100 million people, Carlson said, "A nuclear attack will radically accelerate the destruction." he commented.
Carlson pointed out that no country other than the United States has used nuclear weapons in war, and stated that there are other countries that want to use them and that such a possible attack by the United States would set an example for these countries.
Claiming that the first nuclear attack would "make the Third World War inevitable," Carlson said, "Nobody from either party in Washington seems disturbed by this situation. We are now on the edge of the cliff. Those who follow the issue closely state that Trump may make a decision on whether to use nuclear weapons by the end of next week." he said.
