#Update Tucker Carlson Signals Possible Imminent U.S. Nuclear Strike on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain Facility Near Natanz @TuckerCarlson posted on November 2, 2026, that the Trump administration (@POTUS) may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Pickaxe Mountain under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) , citing the site’s extreme depth and the inability of conventional weapons to destroy alleged restarted enrichment activities. ✅ Target identified as Pickaxe Mountain (Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La) in Isfahan province, roughly 1.5–2 km south of the Natanz nuclear complex. ✅ Facility buried under hard granite; underground halls estimated at least 100 meters (approximately 330 feet) deep. ✅ Carlson stated no conventional U.S. weapon can penetrate the solid granite overburden, making a nuclear strike the only claimed military option. ✅ Claim rests on anonymous “informed observers” and Israeli intelligence assessments of restarted enrichment; remains unverified. ✅ Decision reportedly possible by November 7; Carlson also warned of fallout risks, nuclear-use precedent, and broader escalation.
