US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will launch a powerful strike against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, which is linked to the country's nuclear program and suspected of being used to manufacture centrifuges.
The warning comes amid escalating military tensions between the US and Iran, with the US launching consecutive strikes against various Iranian targets.
Pickaxe Mountain is a facility established hundreds of meters deep inside a mountain near Iran's Natanz nuclear complex. Experts state that the site is designed to withstand strikes even from the US military's most powerful bunker-buster bombs. While Iran maintains that the facility is used for assembling advanced centrifuges, Western intelligence agencies suspect it is being prepared for covert uranium enrichment activities.
In a statement, Trump declared that the United States would destroy the Pickaxe Mountain site, warning Iran to prepare for the outcome. He added that Iran stands powerless against the military might of the United States. Following the threat, regional tensions have escalated significantly, raising fears of a major war.
