Trump Threatens to Bomb Iran’s Underground Natanz Facility, Elevating Tensions

President Trump threatened to strike Pickaxe Mountain, an underground Iranian facility near Natanz, as U.S. airstrikes target Iranian sites continue amid stalled diplomacy over Iran’s nuclear program. Iran denounces the threats as a violation of international law and vows retaliation, while experts note the site could house enrichment or weaponization activities. Satellite imagery shows intensified construction and security around the site; the move risks broadening conflict in the region and impacting Hormuz shipping as talks on a permanent agreement unfold.
