Did Tucker Carlson Just Get Caught Giving the Iranian Regime Intelligence?

Tucker Carlson is warning that the CIA has been spying on him and that he is under investigation for his admitted contacts with the Iranian regime. 

WOW — Tucker Carlson reveals he is facing a criminal referral by the federal government for "talking to people in Iran before the war"

Tucker was in the White House multiple times lobbying President Trump against action there.

Who were these "people in Iran" he was talking to — it is left unsaid in this video

Hmm. This brings up a lot of interesting questions, not the least of which is who in Iran Tucker was talking to, what information did he intentionally or unintentionally pass along, and whether he was acting as an agent of a foreign government or not. 

First, let's dispose of Tucker's ridiculous accusation that the CIA was obviously spying on HIM, and that is why they have information that he was talking to regime officials. While I have no idea if the CIA really IS spying on Tucker, but the fact that they know that he spoke to Iranian officials is hardly a surprise: the CIA spies on those officials, and if an American is talking with them, the CIA will know that they are, and what was said. 

What idiot—and I do mean idiot—would think they have an expectation of privacy when communicating with a government that is a designated terrorist organization? 

Tucker: “The CIA is spying on me, they admitted to reading my text messages.”

Lawyer: “Who were you texting?”

Tucker: “Iranian regime personnel.”

Lawyer: “You sure the CIA wasn’t spying on the member of a designated terrorist organization you were texting?”

Tucker: “No way,…— The Misfit Patriot (@misfitpatriot_) March 15, 2026

Tucker: “The CIA is spying on me, they admitted to reading my text messages.” 

Lawyer: “Who were you texting?”

Tucker: “Iranian regime personnel.”

Lawyer: “You sure the CIA wasn’t spying on the member of a designated terrorist organization you were texting?”

Tucker: “No way, they’re trying to set me up and they’re just using that as an excuse to spy on me.”

Lawyer: “So you weren’t sharing communications with a designated enemy of the U.S.?”

Tucker: “No, I was, but that’s free speech.”

Lawyer: “As long as you didn’t give them any information that would benefit their efforts against the U.S. or spread any information to your audience at their request.” 

Tucker: “Isn’t that also free speech?”

Lawyer: “No that’s treason.”

Tucker: “Oh…………..”

Now, expand the context: Tucker was meeting with the President of the United States with the purpose of convincing him not to attack Iran, which, in other words, was not a journalistic visit—it was a form of lobbying. He admitted he was lobbying the president to leave Iran alone, which in itself is perfectly legitimate. Every American citizen has a right to share his opinion with the government, and if he is not doing so on behalf of a foreign government as an agent, that's perfectly legal and proper. 

The biggest issue with Tucker really isn't "talking to the Iranians"

It's AT THE SAME TIME he was talking to Iran, Tucker met with Trump at the White House 3x in January & February leading up to the war urging Trump not go to war with Iran.

Questions become:
1. Was Tucker acting on behalf of Iran as an intermediary - meaning non US officials meddling in US foreign policy. 2. What did Tucker disclose to the Iranians about his meetings with Trump?

Tucker could be tried as a spy. Easily.

But if he is sharing that information in any way with a government or terrorist organization, that is illegal,  in fact, treason. If he is coordinating a lobbying campaign to prevent the war with Iranian officials, that is not treason, but a violation of FARA. 

This photo is hilarious in hindsight.

Trump knew Tucker was talking to Iran.

So he invites him to the Oval Office before the strike… knowing Tucker will run straight back and relay it.

Iran sees this photo.
Thinks Tucker has Trump’s ear.
Thinks Trump is bluffing.

Meanwhile Trump’s sitting there smiling because he wanted them to believe it.

Tucker’s ego sells the deception.

Khamenei buys it.

And just like that Tucker unknowingly helps take out the Supreme Leader… and now Americas biggest traitor may be heading to prison.

Perfectly played.

Now consider this: after Tucker's meeting with  Trump, the Iranians were so confident that Trump would not attack that they met each other in person, leading to the decapitation strikes. 

If the CIA knew that he was talking to the Iranians, then President Trump would have known that also, when he invited Tucker into the Oval a few days before the strike.

Which means Trump may have used Tucker to deceive the Iranians about the likelihood of an impending attack https://t.co/TkbjY34js4— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) March 15, 2026

This leads to another interesting speculation:

• The CIA and Trump knew Tucker was talking with Iran's regime
• Trump met with Tucker, leaving him with the impression that an attack was not imminent
• Tucker passes this information along to Iran, either directly or by implication
• Iranian regime officials breath a sigh of relief, meet to plan strategy, get whacked
• Tucker gets informed that the CIA knew he was sharing information with Iran and/or lobbying on their behalf, informing him of the investigation
• Tucker freaks out and tries to make himself a victim

Perhaps the investigation is just into FARA violations and not passing along intel about a meeting with the president, and Tucker was not used as an unwitting tool of a disinformation operation. He would still have committed a crime if he were lobbying on behalf of Iran, and the messages exchanged with Iranians show he was doing so in cooperation with Iranian officials. 

Here’s what appears to be happening:

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. (BASED.)

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.

Of course, Tucker may be inventing the whole thing, creating the ever-valuable victimhood shtick that conspiracy theorists thrive on. "The CIA is spying on me!" His viewers will eat it up. 

Who knows? Yet, at least. We will all know soon enough, I think. 

But there is one thing for certain: the evidence he is presenting is absurd. The fact that the CIA has Tucker's communications with Iranian officials is the most normal thing in the world. They aren't spying on TUCKER. They are spying on those officials. 

So, at the very least, Tucker is admitting to being a fool, and not a victim.

Awwww. I wonder who will feed Tucker’s Maine Coon cat named Betsy?

[bray]

His hatred of Israel is disgusting.

[Jonty30]

I do consider it possible that Tucker was working with Trump.

Time will tell.

[bakeneko]

Does Tucker have a security clearance? Does he have direct input into policy decisions? Does he have immense influence over American fiscal policy and spending? No?

I would rather that our boys investigate all the names coming out in the Epstein lists where pay-to-play and mutual ballwashing was actually occurring.

[no-to-illegals]

If tucker wasn’t working for the United States I can hold and have no respect for him. If President Trump manipulated tucker, then so be it.

[Samurai_Jack]

Tucker got paid.

Very sad. I was a fan.

[MikelTackNailer]

He had a rare and unique opportunity to set an example for investigative journalism but squandered it for lack of patriotism/appreciation for the country that raised him.

What irks me is that, like Anderson Cooper, he always had access to money that most don't get to take for granted but still went off on a tangent while presuming we commoners would sympathize.

Cooper's motivation is trying to make the world see his perverted lifestyle as normal.

Carlson is a total enigma to me.

[nickcarraway]

You actually think Trump is working with Iran against the U.S.?

[Jonty30]

I said, “I do consider it possible that Tucker was working with Trump.”

Does that mean that Trump was working against the US, as opposed to a scenario where Fox fired Tucker, to create a disgruntled employee who became an anti-Trumper and a possible betrayer to the United States to make Tucker a trusted resource for the Iranian nation, which left them vulnerable to a surprise attack on February 28, because Tucker fed them wrong information.

[Jonty30]

Remember, Tucker Carlson’s father did some work for the CIA in his day. Tucker may have done the same thing this time around.

Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson:
For years, I served as the Chairman of the Board of a Christian ministry that was one of the most viral underground church movements in Iran.
Iran has been under US sanctions for years. Which means that getting any funds into Iran in any form is severely restricted. If it is not done in strict compliance with the law, board members are liable for federal crimes and can easily end up in federal prison for the rest of their lives. It’s very serious stuff. For Tucker Carlson to say he is an American journalist who can do or say anything he wants and talk to anyone he wants with zero repercussions is the epitome of entitled, nonsensical gaslighting. Journalists know there are laws they must all abide by. Everyone has to obey the law, even rich, snotty, entitled men with names like Tucker or Buckley. If he is found to be guilty of crimes against the United States, I truly do hope that proper justice is served.

Hilarious.

Kookie Qatarlson also promoted Hitlet fan Fuentes and WW2-revisionist Darril Cooper.

[TonyM]

So was I and a lot of other people who like me now feel betrayed.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What “intelligence” would Carlson have to give to the Iranian regime?

He is not a feral government official and receives no “intelligence” briefings.

He receives his “intelligence” via remote viewing, perhaps?

[Antioch]

Tucker’s contention is that he’s an American citizen and an adult and as a journalist it’s his duty to talk to everyone, transmit different perspectives and question the narratives of people we elect to represent us. Is that now outrageous and beyond the pale these days? There’s precious few in the media doing that right now.

None of us should tolerate fake news because it guards against “vaccine hesitancy” or “forever war hesitancy” or whatever… We’re citizens, not children, correct?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Seems similar to what Comey did to General Flynn.

[SMARTY]

There are too many un-elected f*&ks with access to the oval office!
