Trump says US 'not finished at all' with Iran, warns of nuclear site strike

President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the United States is far from finished with Iran, issuing a stark warning that the next American military target could be the underground nuclear complex known as Pickaxe Mountain.

“

We’ll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily.

Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried site near Natanz, is suspected by Western intelligence to be where Iran is constructing an undeclared enrichment facility. "We'll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily," Trump told reporters during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. He added that while he would not normally announce targets, "there's not a thing they can do about it."

Trump estimated that Iran would require more than 20 years to recover from existing damage. "If we left right now, it would take Iran 20, 25 years to rebuild. Okay, and we're not finished at all... we're not leaving right now," he stated.

there’s not a thing they can do about it.

His comments came as Iran escalated its strikes across the Middle East, with Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain reportedly coming under attack two weeks after its war with the United States resumed.
