Trump Defends US Military Campaign Against Iran, Warns of Potential Targeting of Pecax Mountain

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump defended the US military campaign against Iran, saying its main objective is to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump warned that if the United States finds any activity on Pecax Mountain, it could be targeted. He pointed out that US intelligence is closely monitoring activity at the site. AdvertisementPecax Mountain is located near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility. It is described as a highly fortified underground complex with two deep-seated tunnel systems. The Wall Street Journal reported a few days ago that Israel has made a startling claim involving Iran. According to Israeli intelligence, thousands of centrifuges have been moved to the deep-seated facility. This underground construction does not have the effect of conventional aerial bombing. Pecax Mountain is much more resistant. Trump argued in response to a question that because of the US military threat to the West Asia and the wider regional conflict, he said Israel faced a more serious threat if it did not intervene.
