Trump Warns Iran: Pickaxe Mountain and Other Targets May Face US Strikes

President Donald Trump, speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, warned that U.S. forces could strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain—a strategic military installation—and other sites if the situation escalates. The warning follows a series of confrontations between the United States and Iran over missile programs and regional influence. Analysts say the statement signals a shift toward a more aggressive posture, though no immediate military action has been announced. The U.S. government has reiterated its commitment to protecting its allies in the Middle East while maintaining diplomatic channels.
