Trump renews threat to attack Iran's Pickaxe Mountain

US President Donald Trump has again threatened to strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain and civilian infrastructure, including bridges, unless Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said negotiations had produced 'good talks' but kept military action on the table. 'Pickaxe Mountain is not a big problem. We have a very strong position with Iran now,' Trump said. He added that he would prefer not to target Iran's power stations or bridges, but did not rule out such strikes. 'I'm not looking to do that,' he stated. The remarks mark a continuation of Trump's hardline stance toward Iran, as he seeks to pressure the country into a new agreement. Pickaxe Mountain is a key military site in Iran, and the threat to hit civilian infrastructure has raised concerns about potential escalation. Trump's comments come amid ongoing negotiations between the two countries, with the US president insisting that Iran must make concessions. No specific timeline for a possible strike was given, but Trump emphasized that the US military is ready if needed.
