Trump said in an Oct. 15 interview that he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran. Tucker Carlson said President Donald Trump could decide by Nov. 7 whether to use a nuclear weapon against Iran, making an unverified allegation with serious implications for U.S. security. Carlson posted at 8:47 p.m. ET Sunday, Nov. 1 (01:47 UTC Monday, Nov. 2). He named Pickax Mountain as the alleged target and described a decision as possible within days. The post is evidence of Carlson’s claim, not confirmation that Trump is weighing or authorized a nuclear strike. Trump discussed a possible strike on the site in an Oct. 15 interview. “I wouldn’t use nuclear. We don’t have to,” he said. A Sept. 9 analysis of satellite imagery found increased construction at Pickax Mountain and suggested the facility was not yet capable of enrichment work.
