Trump says US may hit Iran's Pickaxe Mountain soon

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump renewed his threat to strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, stating the United States could act "very soon" if it detects renewed activity there.
  • The United States has threatened to strike the site for months, with public warnings dating back to July, while closely monitoring activity across Iran to detect any threatening developments.
  • Pickaxe Mountain, located near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes, explaining why the United States views the location as a critical target.
  • Trump rejected describing the confrontation as a war, calling it a "military conflict. It's small money for us," while contrasting 18 United States deaths with 100,000 losses in Vietnam.
  • Asserting total surveillance over Iran, Trump claimed, "We know about everything that moves everywhere throughout Iran," reflecting the United States' confidence in its ability to detect activity at the site.
