Trump Threatens US Could Strike Iran's 'Pickaxe Mountain' Nuclear Site 'Very Soon'

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump said the US could strike Pickaxe Mountain — a deeply buried underground complex roughly 2km from the Natanz enrichment plant in Isfahan province — 'very soon,' claiming Washington knows 'everybody that's moving' at the site. Dug more than 300 feet under solid granite, the facility is significantly deeper than Fordow and was untouched in prior US/Israeli strikes because it was believed unfinished; Israeli intelligence assesses Iran moved thousands of advanced centrifuges into the complex last fall. The threat follows the IAEA's Sept 1-2 warning that it has had no verification access to Iran's enriched uranium stockpile since the war began.
