What happened

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site “pretty soon,” telling reporters during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun that U.S. operations against Iran are “not finished at all.” Pickaxe Mountain is described as a deep underground Iranian nuclear site under construction that has been spared in prior attacks. U.S. officials say Iran may have stored nuclear centrifuges there. Trump’s remarks came amid 10 straight days of strikes and signaled continued military escalation rather than a ceasefire.
