The four Iranian nuclear plants in Trump’s sights after president’s threat to hit Pickaxe Mountain
- With the US-Iran ceasefire in tatters, Donald Trump has issued new threats against Tehran’s nuclear facilities in what would represent a significant escalation in the conflict.
- The president’s latest target is Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La, or “Pickaxe Mountain,” a suspected underground facility that lies on the south side of Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment site, one of those bombed by the US and Israel in June 2025.
- Named Operation Midnight Hammer, the countries launched a series of attacks on several nuclear and military facilities more than one year ago.
