US President Donald Trump announced in a late-night interview that the United States is preparing to strike the underground site known as "Mount Peakax" near Iran's nuclear facility in Natanz. He warned Iranians to be ready, stating the attack could happen soon. Trump emphasized that Washington closely monitors the site and will act whenever it detects attempts to resume nuclear activities there, saying, "We don't see activity there. They are not in a good position regarding their nuclear program. Whenever we hear about it, we blow it up."
Mount Peakax is located near the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz, which has suffered significant damage in previous attacks. The site contains two deep, fortified tunnel complexes believed to be beyond the penetration capabilities of the US's most powerful bunker-busting bombs.
Earlier, Trump also announced the US is renewing its blockade of Iranian shipping in the Gulf and vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open but only for a fee. He declared, "We will hit them very hard again tomorrow. They have nothing they can do about it."
