Trump Threatens to Bomb Iran's Fordow Mountain if Activity Detected
President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran's Fordow Mountain facility during a meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders, stating the US would strike immediately if military activity is detected there, while also claiming Iran's nuclear ambitions have already ended. Trump made the remarks at a New York press conference with Gulf Cooperation Council leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. He said "we may have to blow up Fordow Mountain" if activity is spotted, contradicting his earlier claim that Tehran's nuclear weapons pursuit is "already over." Trump predicted the military confrontation with Iran could conclude after the midterm congressional elections, though he insisted his security decisions are independent of domestic electoral pressures facing his Republican Party.
