  • Donald Trump said the United States might soon attack an underground Iranian nuclear facility.

Donald Trump says the United States could soon attack an underground Iranian nuclear facility near Natanz, a threat he has made before.

The Kolang Gaz La mountain facility is heavily protected and lies deep beneath the ground. Western intelligence suspects Iran is building a secret uranium-enrichment site there.

Experts say the two tunnel complexes in the mountain, known in English as Pickaxe, are so deeply buried that they may be beyond the reach of the most powerful bombs in the US arsenal.
