^^^^ Debunked from 35 sources. Why lie, dood? It makes a sucking sound.
No, this is not a verified or proven fact about Tucker Carlson—it's an unsubstantiated accusation from an Iranian activist (Dr. Kaveh) that's being presented as "JUST IN" evidence in the X post.
The post quotes a video where Dr. Kaveh (handle @dr.kaveh.coaching) directly addresses critics like Tucker Carlson. He claims Tucker and other U.S. right-wing figures/news outlets have been "bought" by the Qatari government to spread "Islamic propaganda," while arguing that certain narratives about Iran (e.g., protests being foreign-driven) echo regime propaganda and endanger Iranians. He references general Qatari influence and shows inserts like a news article screenshot, but provides no specific documents, payments, or direct links tying Tucker personally to Qatari money for propaganda.
The post also claims the Iranian man "shares a video of Qatari officials admitting they are paying western journalists to do their bidding." This likely alludes to a separate, older (2022–2023) clip of former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, who admitted in an interview that Qatar (and other Arab countries) had journalists on its payroll in many countries—some even became MPs—and paid them salaries. That clip has gone viral repeatedly as evidence of Qatar's influence ops, but it is not new ("JUST IN") and does not name Tucker Carlson or any specific right-wing influencers. Qatar does engage in extensive lobbying, funding think tanks, universities, media (e.g., Al Jazeera), and influence campaigns in the West, which is well-documented via FARA filings the and public admissions.
