Trump Threatens Strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Amid Ongoing US-Iran Tensions
US President Donald Trump warned that the United States is not finished with its military campaign against Iran and threatened to strike the underground Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility near Natanz, believed to house uranium enrichment operations. Trump claimed recent US strikes have caused extensive damage to Iran, which could take 20 to 25 years to recover from. Iran responded by warning that any US attack on its nuclear sites would escalate the conflict and target US interests and allies. The situation reflects ongoing heightened tensions and military exchanges in the Middle East.
