Trump Warns of Possible US Strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Amid Rising Tensions
US President Donald Trump renewed threats to strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified site near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility linked to Iran's nuclear program. Trump emphasized preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and described the confrontation as a military conflict, not a war. Vice President JD Vance acknowledged investigations into reports of a US airstrike hitting a wedding party in southern Iran and ruled out talks while Iran targets commercial shipping. Meanwhile, Western nations are pushing an IAEA resolution to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over alleged nuclear violations.
