Tucker Carlson: The US Wants to Designate Him as a "Foreign Agent"
On March 15, the renowned American host Tucker Carlson posted a video on his social media platform X, stating that the CIA is fabricating charges against him over the Iran issue.
Carlson said that the CIA is preparing to submit an application to the Department of Justice in an attempt to designate him as a "foreign agent" in the United States and bring criminal charges against him. He said that the intelligence agency began reviewing his activities because he had contacted Iranian representatives before the conflict broke out.
Carlson recalled that during the preparation for an interview with Russian President Putin, he had faced pressure - at that time, he was sure that the US National Security Agency had been monitoring him.
Carlson said, "The CIA is preparing to bring criminal charges against me, submitting a criminal report to the Department of Justice, citing that I am suspected of committing a crime. What is the crime? It's that I spoke with Iranians before the war."
The reason for Carlson being accused of being a "foreign agent" may be his comments on the Middle East conflict. Previously, Carlson also stated that the US actions against Iran were "disgusting wars." At that time, he pointed out that it had nothing to do with national security.
