Trump says US may strike two remaining Iran targets; Tehran warns of retaliation

khaleejtimes.com —

President Donald Trump said Saturday the US has decimated Iran's military and nuclear program but still needs to strike "one or two" remaining targets, including a suspected underground site, while Tehran warns of reprisals. Trump told reporters the remaining strikes could be done "in 10 minutes," referencing "Pickaxe Mountain," which Iran denies is a nuclear complex. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no decision on fresh strikes has been made, and a diplomatic solution remains possible. Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered an "immediate, impactful and geographically unrestricted response" to any new attack. Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has spiked oil prices, while upcoming US midterms and Israeli elections could shape the conflict's direction.
