Tucker Carlson has repeatedly alleged the Trump administration is considering a nuclear strike on Iran, specifically targeting 'Pickax Mountain' (also referred to as 'Mount Pica'), a site reportedly linked to Iranian enrichment. These claims are unverified, lack official corroboration, and are assessed with low confidence. The allegations, if credible, would signify a dramatic escalation in US-Iran tensions.
