US President Donald Trump escalated his threats against Iran on Monday night, explicitly targeting the highly sensitive and classified Pickaxe Mountain site, a key underground facility in Iran’s nuclear program. Trump stated in an interview that Pickaxe Mountain, located near the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, would be hit "pretty soon," emphasizing that US intelligence constantly monitors the site and calling it a "good potential target." He further warned, "We are going to eliminate Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ready."
Pickaxe Mountain is a subterranean complex carved about 100 meters deep into granite rock, making it extremely difficult to destroy even with bunker-buster bombs. Its depth and location make it one of Iran’s most fortified sites, designed to ensure continued nuclear development even under aerial attack. Trump’s remarks follow a series of recent aggressive statements toward Tehran, fueling speculation that the US may consider striking even Iran’s most protected nuclear facilities if tensions continue to rise.
