Trump says US may hit Iran's Pickaxe Mountain soon
Trump said the United States is closely monitoring activity and could respond forcefully if it sees renewed work at the fortified site.
- 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.
