Trump says U.S. will hit area of Iran's Pickaxe Mountain 'very heavily'
Trump says the U.S. will strike the underground site soon as officials warn Iran may have moved thousands of centrifuges there.
- President Trump declared that the U.S. will strike the area around Iran's Pickaxe Mountain "pretty soon, and very heavily," intensifying threats against Tehran's underground nuclear infrastructure.
- Pickaxe Mountain is a heavily fortified underground site located approximately 140 miles south of Tehran and just over a mile from the primary Natanz nuclear facility. Constructed beginning in 2020, the facility is designed to house centrifuge assembly and sensitive nuclear operations deep inside the mountain.
- The warning follows recent intelligence reports suggesting Iran may have transferred thousands of advanced uranium-enrichment centrifuges and portions of its highly enriched uranium stockpile into the deep tunnel complex to shield them from airstrikes.
- Military experts highlight significant targeting challenges, as the main underground complex is buried up to 100 meters beneath solid rock, making it largely resilient against standard bunker-buster munitions. Strikes would likely target surface ventilation shafts, power supplies, or portal entrances to deny access.
- Iran’s joint military command responded with counter-threats, warning that any U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites would trigger direct retaliatory attacks against American military interests and allies in the region.
