U.S. President Donald Trump tells reporters the United States may strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain “very soon.” Multiple outlets report he makes the remarks at the White House, reiterating a warning tied to the underground site.
Pickaxe Mountain is described as a heavily fortified complex near Iran’s damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Several reports add that it includes two deeply buried tunnel complexes, framing it as a protected location for nuclear-related infrastructure. Reuters-based reporting carried by Al-Monitor provides the location and physical description, while other outlets largely repeat the same substance of the warning.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis and wording. Some headlines highlight immediacy (“very soon,” “soon”), while others stress the site’s underground fortifications and connection to Natanz. Across reports, there is no confirmed detail on timing, targets, or operational steps beyond Trump’s public warning and the claim that Washington is monitoring activity at the site.
