Trump says activity seen at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, urges Tehran 'not to get cute'
Trump said new activity at the fortified site could trigger a major strike as satellite imagery showed a sharp increase in construction there.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned Iran to be cautious regarding activity at Pickaxe Mountain during a speech at the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.
- Located near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, the fortified Pickaxe Mountain site hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes. Trump has threatened strikes on the location since at least mid-July.
- Rising oil and gas prices from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which began in February, have become a major political issue for Trump and the Republican Party ahead of November midterm elections.
- Trump issued a direct warning, stating, "We notice there's a little activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard."
- The Republican Party faces mounting pressure to manage the escalating war as officials continue monitoring the fortified site, signaling potential military action if provocations persist.
