Former CIA officer John Kiriakou said a White House source told him Trump is considering a nuclear strike on Pickaxe Mountain — and wants to break the nuclear-use taboo.
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou said a White House source told him President Trump is considering using a tactical nuclear weapon against Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain. He alleged the president wants to destroy Iran’s nuclear program and set a precedent for future presidents to use nuclear weapons.
“I’ve got my own source in the White House, and my own source tells me that Tucker’s information is true,” Kiriakou said in his Briefing Room broadcast, excerpted in the clip below.
Kiriakou said Trump had told aides he was considering a small nuclear weapon to break what the president allegedly calls the “final taboo.” He cited Tucker Carlson’s separate warning that the administration could be days from a nuclear strike.
The allegation concerns a possible decision, not an announced strike order. Trump previously rejected nuclear use in an October Newsmax interview: “I wouldn’t use nuclear. We don’t have to,” he said, Al Jazeera reported. A White House official later told JP on Nov. 2 that “all options” remained available.
Kiriakou warned that nuclear use against Iran could encourage Russia to do the same in Ukraine.
“It doesn’t just break the final taboo for future American presidents. It breaks the final taboo for Vladimir Putin,” Kiriakou said.
