Trump Threatens More Iran Strikes, Says Remaining Targets Could Take '10 Minutes'

huffingtonpost.fr (French) —

Donald Trump said Saturday the U.S. has destroyed much of Iran's nuclear capacity but needs to address one or two remaining sites, which he claimed could be done in ten minutes, while Tehran threatens retaliation for any new strikes. Trump mentioned "Pickaxe Mountain," the English name for Mount Kolang, about 200 km south of Tehran near the Natanz nuclear complex. The U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran began February 28, with a ceasefire in April and a June agreement, but tensions reignited over the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. media report Trump may resume strikes after Tuesday's midterm elections, as the war is unpopular due to fuel price increases. Iran's supreme leader warned of "immediate, powerful" retaliation without geographic limits, and Israel's Netanyahu called it a "unique historic opportunity."
