Trump Warns US May Strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Site SoonPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump warned that the United States may strike Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear site, Pickaxe Mountain, soon if activity is detected there. The site, near the damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is linked to Iran's nuclear program and is believed to contain deeply buried tunnels. Trump emphasized that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains the US military campaign's primary goal. US intelligence is closely monitoring the site amid ongoing tensions and recent strikes on Iranian military targets.
