Trump Targets Pickaxe Mountain in Escalating Standoff with Iran

Standing alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House, Donald Trump signaled a major shift in the ongoing military campaign against Iran. He explicitly identified Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified underground site near Natanz suspected of hosting secret nuclear enrichment, as the next target for a heavy American strike.

Trump dismissed the possibility of immediate peace talks, claiming that Iranian officials are desperate to negotiate only because their infrastructure is being decimated. He asserted that the damage already inflicted would take Tehran decades to repair, reinforcing his commitment to ongoing military operations. According to the President, the United States has no plans to withdraw from the region, despite the collapse of recent interim agreements.

While regional tensions rise, including reports of Houthi rebels threatening Red Sea shipping, Trump maintained a dismissive stance toward the group. He insisted that maritime operations remain unaffected and that the U.S. would handle any potential disruptions if they materialized. Meanwhile, diplomatic channels remain fragile; Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, meeting with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, issued an urgent call for regional restraint, even as Iranian spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei claimed that back-channel exchanges with Washington continue.
