Carlson, who has been a staunch critic of the US’s involvement in Israel’s conflict with Iran, said he expects to be “criticized for doing this interview.”

U.S. conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson said in an online post on Saturday that he had conducted an interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, which would air in the next day or two.
