‘We can do it in 10 minutes’: Trump names Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain as potential US strike target

Washington, November 1 - In a recent statement, US President Donald Trump mentioned that the United States has largely dismantled Iran's military capabilities, but there remain a couple of targets, including a site called Pickaxe Mountain, which could potentially be a nuclear facility. Trump indicated that ongoing negotiations with Iran to end the ongoing conflict, which the US and Israel initiated at the end of February, were "going fine," although he acknowledged that Iran's reliability was questionable.

The President emphasized that the US was not eager to take offensive action, as it had significantly weakened Iran's military and nuclear program. At his Florida residence, Trump told reporters that "we can do that in 10 minutes," referring to the swift potential elimination of one or two sites like Pickaxe Mountain. The Iranian government has rejected any allegations of nuclear activities at this location.

Earlier today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that a decision on further strikes on Iran has not been made, and the US remains open to a diplomatic resolution. Iran's supreme leader cautioned the US and Israel against initiating new attacks in response to recent threats to resume strikes following the upcoming elections.

President Trump has hinted at the possibility of fresh military action following the US midterms, stating he is considering whether to "finish them off."
