President Donald Trump has declared that the United States is far from finished with Iran and has warned that the next US military target could be an underground nuclear complex known as Pickaxe Mountain. Trump stated that the US would be hitting the area 'pretty soon, and very heavily,' and estimated that it would take Iran more than 20 years to rebuild from the current damage. He made these remarks during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
Pickaxe Mountain is a deeply buried nuclear site near Natanz, where Western intelligence suspects Iran is building an undeclared enrichment facility. Trump's announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Iran stepping up its strikes in the region following the resumption of its war with the United States two weeks ago. Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain have all come under attack in recent days.
Trump's comments suggest a continued aggressive stance towards Iran, despite the significant damage already inflicted. He emphasized that the US is 'not leaving right now' and is prepared to further escalate military actions. This development adds to the ongoing instability in the region, with potential implications for global security and diplomatic relations.
