Key Points:
- In September 2026, Tucker Carlson claimed he had a private conversation with former President Donald Trump days before the U.S. and Israel started the Iran war, during which Trump allegedly dismissed concerns about the war by saying, "In the end, we all die anyway."
- Carlson stated that Trump admitted there was no nuclear threat from Iran, asserting that the war was driven by Israeli interests rather than Iran's nuclear program, and criticized Trump for threatening a first-use nuclear strike.
- The White House neither confirmed nor denied Carlson's account, with spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissing Carlson as a "whiny turncoat," while Trump has not publicly confirmed or denied the conversation.
- Carlson, once a Trump ally, has since strongly opposed the Iran war and expressed regret for his previous support of Trump, highlighting deep disagreements over the conflict.
- Verification of the exact exchange between Carlson and Trump remains unconfirmed due to lack of direct evidence or official acknowledgment from the Trump administration.
