Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has alleged that Israeli occupation forces officers operating inside the Pentagon during the 12-day war waged by the US and the Israeli regime against Iran, “enraged” American military staff by giving direct orders and making demands.
Speaking on his show, Carlson said, “During the 12-day war, such as it was with Iran, the US and Israel versus Iran, bombing on all sides during that short conflict, IDF officers [were] in the Pentagon. By the way, they're not the only foreign military officers in the Pentagon. There are NATO officers, they’re from Britain and other countries. But there are a bunch of Israeli Defense Force officers in the Pentagon that week.”
He went on to describe what he characterized as inappropriate interference, “Ask anyone who works at the Pentagon. They enraged American Pentagon staff by just barging into meetings, giving orders, making demands. And nobody did anything about it.”

'Weak leaders'
Carlson questioned how such conduct could be tolerated inside the US military’s top command center. “How can a foreign military officer barge into military headquarters, even if invited, and start demanding: we want this, we want that, you need to get on this? The more you allow that kind of deeply unhealthy behavior, the more you’re going to get. And that’s exactly what has happened because of the weakness of our leaders,” he said.
Carlson insisted his criticism was not anti-Israeli but rather a call for US leaders to uphold their responsibilities, “Oh, that’s such an anti-Israel thing. It’s not anti-Israel at all. It’s a demand that the people whose job it is — whose sacred duty it is — to defend and represent us, our leaders both at the Pentagon and all throughout the US government, that they do that.”
“That they stand up and defend us against all potential threats, against all foreign countries to the extent they need to, and that they do not prostrate themselves before a foreign nation. That’s just basic. Why have a government, especially a strong government, if it’s taking orders from another, weaker government?” he stressed.
Carlson concluded by claiming this has been the “state of play” for years: “And it has been for a very long time. And they’re not even pretending.”
Mossad-fed intel pushed war on Iran
The CIA and US Central Command are being used as tools by "Israel’s" Mossad to push the United States toward a full-scale war with Iran, a senior official in US President Donald Trump’s administration told The Grayzone back in June.
According to the official, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla regurgitated Israeli briefings, without disclosing their origin, to influence Trump directly.
The official described Ratcliffe as “Mossad’s stenographer", arguing that Israeli intelligence shaped White House perceptions through intermediaries who bypass standard US intelligence vetting.
This manipulation completely sidelined dissenting voices, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and her deputy, Joe Kent, who have raised concerns about the consequences of escalation.
