Trump Says Iran Talks Progressing, Names Pickaxe Mountain as Potential Target

i24news.tv —

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that negotiations with Iran are progressing, while singling out a site known as Pickaxe Mountain as a potential military target if talks fail. Trump told reporters in Palm Beach that Washington has "knocked out their nuclear" capability but still needs to address "one or two sites," which could be done "in 10 minutes." Pickaxe Mountain has been identified by Western intelligence as a likely nuclear material storage facility and has not been struck during the conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said separately that Trump has set no deadline for talks and made no decision on resuming strikes, with Washington preferring diplomacy while condemning Iran's attacks on commercial shipping.
