Trump Warns US Could Strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Facility
· World · India Today, NDTV, Times of India
President Trump stated that the United States may soon conduct a military strike against Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain facility, citing the need to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. The site, located near the Natanz uranium-enrichment facility, is believed to house two deeply buried tunnel systems and thousands of centrifuges. Trump claimed that US intelligence is actively monitoring all movement at the facility and across Iran. He defended the ongoing five-month US military campaign, asserting that it has successfully prevented a wider regional conflict. The report does not specify the exact criteria that would trigger an immediate strike on the site.
Why it matters
A strike on the fortified Pickaxe Mountain facility would represent a major escalation in the US-Iran conflict, with potential consequences for Middle East stability and global oil markets.
