Iran Warns Trump of Devastating Response to Potential Strike on 'Mount Trap' Nuclear Site

A senior Iranian security official warned in a CNN interview that any American attack on the underground site known as "Mount Trap" in the Zagros Mountains would provoke a devastating response from Iran. The official stated that Tehran would exact a heavy price not only from the United States but also from American troops and Washington’s regional partners. This warning comes amid escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The official denied U.S. claims that nuclear activities are taking place at the site, calling such allegations baseless and intended to justify military action against Iran. "Mount Trap" is considered one of Iran’s most fortified and deepest underground facilities, located near the Natanz uranium enrichment plant.

The threat follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statements suggesting possible military action against the site. According to Reuters, Trump indicated that the U.S. might target "Mount Trap," which has drawn Western concern due to intelligence reports of tunnel networks and suspicious activity around the area. The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) noted in June that the site includes tunnel systems that have attracted intelligence interest.

This exchange of threats adds to a series of sharp declarations from both sides, raising fears of further escalation amid ongoing regional tensions and disputes over Iran’s nuclear program.
