Tucker Carlson says the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) read his private texts with people in Iran, claiming, “They read my text messages.” He also alleges the agency is trying to “frame me as a foreign agent.”
“They read my texts. What’s the crime, talking to people in Iran before the war? The CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me. I’m not an agent of a foreign power. My loyalty is to the United States.”
Some allege Tucker Carlson was used by the Trump administration to provide false information to Iran prior to the joint attacks by Israel and America. Some say Carlson has created a victim story to boost clicks on his streaming media. Still others are saying he was, and is, an actual Iran sympathizer out to help Iran.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) went on the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) this past week to do an interview where he shed some light on this situation with Tucker Carlson and the Trump Administration that was most interesting.

Ted Cruz went on record this week calling for Tucker Carlson's foreign ties to be investigated. And unlike the CIA's leak-and-humiliate operation we covered earlier, Cruz laid out a specific… pic.twitter.com/GO908HnjMp
Eitan Fischberger (@EFischberger), a former Staff Sergeant of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who now specializes in exposing propaganda, posted his explanation of what he believes is the truth is in the matter.
1. Tucker Carlson has allegedly been conducting his own foreign policy with Iran on behalf of the United States.
2. At some point, the CIA got wind of this and informed President Trump, who may then have used Tucker as an unwitting counterintelligence asset to feed faulty information to Iran.
3. Following the launch of Epic Fury, Tucker’s traitorous behavior may have finally caught up with him, as DOJ reportedly prepares a criminal complaint against him based on CIA intelligence.
4. After the operation began, Iran sent IRGC agents to carry out attacks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but those plots were foiled.
5. Iran then told Tucker these were actually Mossad plots — a claim he pushed online and that spread like wildfire.
6. Saudi and Qatar had to publicly deny Tucker’s fake news about the Mossad.
CONCLUSION:
This is another story about a former friend and supporter of President Donald Trump who is turning against him. It is a well-known fact Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump were once close friends, perhaps they still are unbeknownst to the public.
Donald Trump has an above average IQ and is famous for his ability to play 4D Chess in business and in politics. Given that fact, this is yet another interesting scenario.
1. The CIA knew Carlson was in communication with the Iranian regime.
2. President Trump invited Carlson to the Oval Office multiple times before the Iran Epic Fury attack, knowing Carlson was back channeling information to the Iran.
3. President Trump used Carlson unwitting as a counter-intel asset, to convince Khamenei that he was bluffing and nothing would happen. Trump then launched a surprise daytime attack in coordination with Israel.
4. President Trump was able to kill Supreme Leader Khamenei and many other top leaders with Carlson’s help.
5. The public narrative says that Tucker Carlson is now considered a traitor.
My own #5 narrative is Carlson and Trump are still close friends and this was all acting and the CIA/DOJ sideshow is just more theater to keep Carlson from being assassinated by an Iranian sleeper cell.
I had this same intuition about Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and that appears to be playing out in my favor as the two men continually connect. Time will tell if the Tucker Carlson situation is another Trump operation or something else.
