Trump Says U.S. May Strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain “Very Soon”
President Donald Trump said on September 4 that the United States may strike Pickaxe Mountain in Iran “very soon,” signaling a possible new escalation against one of Iran’s most heavily fortified underground sites.
Pickaxe Mountain is located near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, which has already sustained heavy damage during the conflict.
The site contains deeply buried tunnel complexes and has been associated with Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure. Its depth and fortifications make it a particularly difficult target for conventional airstrikes.
Trump’s latest warning comes as Washington continues to pressure Iran over its nuclear program and military capabilities following months of U.S.-Iran fighting.
The United States has not announced a specific timeline or confirmed that an attack on Pickaxe Mountain has been ordered.
