Trump claims US will strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain ‘probably pretty soon’
Israel said to believe Iran moved both centrifuges and enriched uranium to underground nuclear site last year; president downplays Houthi threats to block shipping in Red Sea
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the US plans to strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain “probably pretty soon,” citing unconfirmed reports that Iran has moved nuclear centrifuges and possibly enriched uranium to the underground site. Trump stated, “We’ll be hitting that area probably pretty soon, and there’s not a thing they can do about it.” This comes amid escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and its actions in the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli intelligence reportedly assesses that Iran has moved thousands of centrifuges and some highly enriched uranium to the fortified site, which has not yet been targeted by the US or Israel. Meanwhile, Israel’s security cabinet met to discuss potential escalation scenarios, with officials expressing caution about re-engaging in a military campaign only to be halted by Washington.
