US Navy Masses Forces Near Iran as Trump Threatens New Strikes

US President Donald Trump has concentrated significant naval forces near Iran, including three aircraft carriers, 17 warships, and over 20,000 military personnel, capable of striking within days. He threatened new attacks, naming a mountain in Isfahan province as a potential target. Trump mentioned Mount Kolang, also called "Pickaxe Mountain," suspected of housing a nuclear complex, located about 200 km south of Tehran near the Natanz facility. Iran denies nuclear work there, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no final decision on attacks has been made. The forces in the Arabian Sea could launch a strike within 96 hours of an order, potentially after the November 3 midterm elections. Reports suggest Trump may favor a major operation if Republicans perform poorly, though he claims negotiations are progressing well.
