podcaster claims Gulf states arrested Mossad agents planning bombings
https://www.trtworld.com/article/382128232c0e
US
commentator Tucker Carlson alleges Saudi Arabia and Qatar detained Israeli
operatives planning bombings, as regional tensions continue to surge following
joint American-Israeli attacks on Iran.
Saudi
Arabia and Qatar had captured and "arrested Israeli Mossad agents planning
bombings in those countries," conservative US podcaster Tucker Carlson
said on Monday, the Middle East Eye reported.
On his
programme, Carlson questioned Israel’s motives, asking: "Why would the
Israelis be committing bombings in Gulf countries, which are also being
attacked by Iran?"
He added,
"Aren't they on the same side?"
He
further claimed, "Israel wants to hurt Iran, and Qatar, and UAE, and Saudi
Arabia, and Bahrain, and Oman and Kuwait," arguing that Israel
deliberately foments instability among Washington’s Arab allies.
In
February, Israeli security authorities briefly detained Carlson and his
production team in Tel Aviv after he conducted an interview with Washington’s
ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
During
that interview, Huckabee said that Jews have a “divine right” to colonise
Palestinian land and rejected the idea of a distinct Palestinian national
identity.
The
exchange came after a public disagreement between the two men online. Carlson
had criticised Israel’s "shocking" treatment of Christians and
accused Huckabee of not doing enough to protect Christians who have faced
attacks from illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
In 2025,
following a visit to Palestinian refugees from Gaza in Qatar, where he
highlighted Israel's murdering of children, a US-based pro-Israel advocacy
organisation labelled Carlson its “Antisemite of the Year”, citing his
opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Carlson’s
recent remarks come amid continuing US and Israeli military attacks against
Iran. The joint offensive has killed Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, several
senior officials and hundreds of civilians. The harshest attack so far was on
Saturday, when over 100 girls were killed in a strike on a school in southern
Iran.
Iran has
responded by striking American bases across the region and disrupting key oil
trade routes.
In a video posted on Monday, March 2, 2026, political commentator Tucker Carlson claimed that authorities in Saudi Arabia and Qatar had arrested Israeli Mossad agents who were allegedly planning bombing operations in those countries.
Tucker
Says Mossad Chaos Agents Captured By Gulf Countries
In a
video posted on Monday, March 2, 2026, political commentator Tucker Carlson
claimed that authorities in Saudi Arabia and Qatar had arrested Israeli Mossad
agents who were allegedly planning bombing operations in those countries.
According
to reports on the broadcast and shared via social media:
The
Claims: Carlson alleged that the agents were planning to detonate bombs to
create "chaos and disorder" among Washington's Arab allies.
Motivations:
He questioned why Israel would target countries also under threat from Iran,
suggesting that Israel's goal is to destabilize the entire region, including
the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait.
Official
Response: Qatar has denied these reports, and Carlson did not cite specific
sources for his assertions during the segment.
Context:
These remarks were made amid high regional tensions following a joint
U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran that killed several high-ranking officials,
including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Carlson also recently claimed he was
briefly detained by Israeli authorities in February 2026.
