He specifically cited Dubai, highlighting the potential economic and tourism losses if attacks had succeeded there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Official Confirmation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither Saudi nor Qatari authorities have officially confirmed or commented on Carlson&#8217;s claims. Israeli officials have also remained silent regarding the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Security experts suggest that any confirmed Mossad activity in the region would raise serious concerns about civilian safety and regional stability, particularly amid the ongoing Iran-US-Israel conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context of Regional Tensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlson&#8217;s allegations come amid escalating conflict between US-Israeli forces and Iran, which has now entered its fifth day. The war has drawn in multiple regional actors, with Iranian retaliatory strikes hitting US bases in Bahrain and other Gulf states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, a drone strike sparked what was described as a &#8220;limited fire&#8221; at Saudi Aramco&#8217;s oil refinery in Ras Tanura. Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry denied responsibility, instead claiming that Israel and the US have been carrying out drone attacks from bases in Arab countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tehran has accused Washington and Tel Aviv of trying to provoke Arab states into attacking Iran and sparking a wider conflict across the Muslim world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmakers.com.pk\/en\/international\/iran-fm-shares-image-of-160-schoolgirls-graves-killed-in-us-strike\/7784\/\">image of 160 schoolgirls\u2019 graves killed in US strike<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carlson&#8217;s History with Israel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The allegations are not Carlson&#8217;s first controversial statements regarding Israel. In February, he claimed Israeli security officials detained him and his production team in Tel Aviv. In 2025, a pro-Israel advocacy group named Carlson its &#8220;Antisemite of the Year,&#8221; citing his opposition to Israel&#8217;s actions in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest claims, if verified, could significantly impact diplomatic relations and security dynamics across the Gulf region at a time of extreme volatility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, 03 March 2026 | Web Desk Prominent American conservative commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson has made explosive allegations that authorities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia have arrested agents from Israel&#8217;s Mossad spy agency who were allegedly planning bomb attacks in both Gulf countries.
