Trump said the United States has nearly finished dismantling Iran’s nuclear program and could strike the remaining sites within 10 minutes, while diplomacy continues.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters at his Palm Beach residence that the United States has "knocked out" much of Iran's military but still must "take care of" one or two targets, including the suspected nuclear site Pickaxe Mountain.
  • Trump said negotiations to end the war, which began in February, are "going fine," though he cautioned the Islamic Republic remains "not very reliable." He added the United States is not in a hurry to strike, having already decimated Iran's military and nuclear program.
  • Western intelligence has flagged Pickaxe Mountain as a location likely used to store nuclear material, though the Iranian government formally denies any nuclear work occurs there. This discrepancy underscores the intelligence gap complicating potential military action.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier Saturday that Trump has not made a decision about fresh strikes on Iran, noting the United States remains open to a diplomatic solution. His comments signal ongoing internal debate.
  • Iran's supreme leader warned the United States and Israel against launching new attacks, while Trump indicated he is weighing potential military action after the United States midterms. He said remaining targets could be addressed "in 10 minutes.
