Donald Trump is threatening to strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility, a deeply buried site that was left untouched during previous US strikes on Iran's other major nuclear installations. The move signals a potential escalation in tensions with Iran and reflects concerns that Tehran retains significant nuclear capability at a facility the US has yet to target, raising questions about what remains of Iran's nuclear programme.

Mark Wallace, CEO of United Against Nuclear Iran, discussed the threat with Trump, warning that the hidden facility may house centrifuges and enriched uranium that could allow Iran to continue its nuclear ambitions. Wallace argued the site needs to be neutralised, while also noting Iran's regime has historically used its nuclear programme as leverage in negotiations with the West. Trump reiterated his pledge to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
