Trump Says US Has 'One or Two' Targets Left in Iran; Khamenei Warns of Quick Response

ndtv.com —

President Donald Trump said the United States still needs to "take care of" one or two targets in Iran, claiming such action could be completed within ten minutes. He made the remarks to reporters at his Florida residence on Saturday. Trump referenced a site linked to Iran's nuclear program, "Pickaxe Mountain," and declined to confirm whether an attack could occur this week. His statement followed a warning from Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who vowed an "immediate, impactful and geographically unrestricted response" to any threat. The comments come amid ongoing tensions following the February 28 US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Khamenei's father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A June peace deal collapsed in July, and reports suggest Washington has prepared Gulf allies for a possible short military campaign after the November 3 US midterm elections.
