Trump Warns US May Strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Site Soon
US President Donald Trump warned that the United States may strike Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear site, Pickaxe Mountain, located near the damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Trump emphasized that US intelligence is closely monitoring activity at the site and reiterated that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon remains a primary objective. The site’s deep underground construction makes it resistant to conventional attacks, and any strike could escalate tensions. Vice President JD Vance noted ongoing investigations into reports of civilian casualties from recent US strikes in Iran.
