U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will launch strikes against Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site and similar sites.
"We'll be hitting that area very probably pretty soon. There's not a thing they can do about it. You know, normally I wouldn't say that. If I thought they could do something about it, I would never say that. But we'll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily," Trump said in response to a question about whether Iran moved nuclear centrifuges to Pickaxe Mountain.
U.S. officials have said Iran may have stored nuclear centrifuges at the heavily fortified site, which is beneath a mountain. Trump said that “it doesn’t mean anything” unless Iran has nuclear material.
The president did not provide any other details about the strikes against Pickaxe Mountain, including when it might happen. Trump made a similar comment earlier in July when he told radio host Hugh Hewitt that the U.S. military would “give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon.”
