Netanyahu to Brief Trump on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Activity Amid US Threats
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to brief US President Donald Trump on intelligence alleging Iran's transfer of nuclear centrifuges to its underground Pickaxe Mountain facility, signaling expanded nuclear activity. Trump acknowledged ongoing talks with Iran but reiterated that military action, including striking Pickaxe Mountain, remains an option if negotiations fail. He dismissed Netanyahu's intelligence offer, stating the US monitors the site independently. The facility, located near Natanz, has long been suspected of nuclear involvement but lacked confirmed activity until now.
