Trump says US has two remaining targets in Iran, including suspected nuclear site

gulfnews.com —

President Donald Trump said Saturday the US has decimated Iran's military but still needs to "take care of" one or two targets, including a suspected nuclear site called Pickaxe Mountain, which he claimed could be done in 10 minutes. Trump stated negotiations with Iran to end the war that began in late February were "going fine but you know they're not very reliable." Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei said the tone of a letter from US Vice President JD Vance had "changed completely," while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi welcomed Washington's attempt to reopen dialogue, though Tehran is not ready for direct talks. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned of an "immediate, impactful and geographically unrestricted response" to any threat, and ordered commanders to update target lists. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington would be open to a diplomatic solution, while Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "historic, one-time opportunity" to topple the Iranian government.
