  "account": "US President Donald Trump warned on Friday that the United States could soon target Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain. Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump defended the months-long US military campaign against Iran, stating that the primary goal was to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. He emphasized that Iran would not have a nuclear weapon if they were detected, adding that US intelligence closely monitored activity at the site. Trump threatened to strike Pickaxe Mountain if any suspicious activity was detected, stating that US intelligence knew who was moving within the complex. He also argued that military intervention had prevented a wider regional conflict, warning that without American action, Israel and the broader Middle East could have faced a more serious threat.",
  "summary": "US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) said the United States could \"hit\" Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain \"very soon\", days after Washington targeted Iranian military targets.",
