Trump Warns of Potential Strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain
President Trump has warned that the US might soon attack a place called Pickaxe Mountain in Iran.
This mountain is near a big uranium plant called Natanz.
The US and Israel think Pickaxe Mountain might have secret nuclear stuff inside, like machines to make special uranium.
Iran hasn't said if this is true.
The mountain has big tunnels deep inside, and it's very strong, like a fortress.
Some experts say it's not working yet, but they're still building it.
Trump says they're watching it closely.
Iran says they want to protect their important things underground.
It's a big deal because no one is sure what's really inside the mountain.
US President Donald Trump warned of a potential strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified site near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.
The US and Israel believe Pickaxe Mountain is linked to Iran's nuclear program and may house centrifuges for uranium enrichment.
Iran has not officially confirmed the existence of nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain.
The site features two pairs of entrances and is estimated to be at least 100 meters deep under the mountain.
Construction of the facility began in the fall of 2020, and it is not yet operational, but construction continues.
