Why Tucker Carlson Fears a Nuclear Strike on Iran

On November 1, 2026, Tucker Carlson posted that the Trump administration "may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran," under pressure from Israel's prime minister. The target, he wrote, is Pickaxe Mountain, a tunnel complex next to Natanz that may be too deep for any ordinary American bomb. Is he right? And if not, why is anyone talking about it? This film looks beneath the post: the twenty-year contest between bigger bombs and deeper holes, what the National Academy of Sciences found about "nuclear bunker busters," the 81 years in which every president handed the nuclear option said no, and the lesson the rest of the world may be drawing from this war.
