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.
