Amid tensions with Iran, US President Donald Trump has again threatened to attack Iran’s alleged nuclear bunker located at Pickaxe Mountain.
New Delhi: Tension between America and Iran seems to be becoming serious once again. US President Donald Trump has given a big statement regarding Pickaxe Mountain related to Iran’s nuclear program. Trump indicated that America could soon take action against this very secure base. His statement has further increased the concern regarding the increasing military tension between the two countries.
A very safe place has been built near Natanj
Pickaxe Mountain is located very close to Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment center. There is talk of a large network of deep underground tunnels beneath this hill. Due to its strong structure, it is counted among the safest nuclear bases of Iran.
Analysts speculate that these underground complexes could be used for sensitive activities related to the nuclear program or for the storage of highly enriched uranium. However, these claims have not been independently verified.
Have already warned about targeting
Trump has already warned about Pickaxe Mountain. It is said that this complex is about two kilometers away from the Natanz nuclear site. There have been American bunker-buster attacks on Natanz before, but reaching the tunnels under the mountain is considered extremely difficult from a military point of view. This is why Pickaxe Mountain is being considered an important target of possible American action.
Trump called the conflict a ‘small thing’
While talking to journalists, Trump also commented about the ongoing conflict with Iran. He refused to consider it a big war and said that for America this is a relatively small military conflict. He also defended the statement of Vice President JD Vance, in which he commented on the current situation.
Iran has also retaliated
Amidst the air strikes in Iran by America and Israel, Iran has also retaliated. According to reports, apart from Israel, Iran has also targeted American bases in the Gulf region. Now Trump’s latest statement on Pickaxe Mountain has increased the fear that military action against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure may intensify in the future.
