Trump Warns US May Strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Site Amid Rising Tensions
US President Donald Trump warned that the United States may strike Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear site, Pickaxe Mountain, near the damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, if activity is detected there. Trump emphasized that the US military campaign aims to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and said intelligence agencies are closely monitoring movements at the site. The facility's deep underground construction makes it resistant to conventional airstrikes, and a strike could escalate tensions. Meanwhile, explosions were reported near Iran's Kharg Island, a key oil hub, though details remain unconfirmed.
