Trump says US may need to strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain

President Donald Trump said the US may have to target Pickaxe Mountain, a site linked to Iran's nuclear program, as he aims to ensure ‌Tehran does not get a nuclear weapon. In an interview with Newsmax on Thursday night, Trump also said he would not use a nuclear weapon in the war on Iran, which began in February with US-Israeli strikes. * ⁠Trump said the US wanted to make sure Iran will never have a nuclear weapon "because if they had it, they would use it." * "Their nuclear is buried under millions of tons of mountain. Now we're looking at Pickaxe Mountain. We may have to go there. We'll take a shot at that one. We'll knock it out fast," Trump told the ‌news ⁠outlet. * Pickaxe Mountain is a fortified facility buried deep underground near one of Tehran's main nuclear sites. * The US president said there was no need to use a nuclear bomb in Iran. "I ⁠wouldn't use nuclear. We don't have to." * Trump reiterated he was not considering using US ground troops in Iran. * Trump did not ⁠say if he had authorized the use of GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, also known as the "mother ⁠of all bombs," against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. He did say the MOAB bomb was not a nuclear bomb.
