The article details former U.S.President Donald Trump's recent threats to destroy Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried Iranian nuclear site near Natanz.
Despite Trump's earlier claims that Iran's nuclear sites were 'obliterated' in 2025, this newly targeted facility remains untouched by previous airstrikes.Experts note that Pickaxe Mountain is located 600 meters beneath granite, making it inaccessible to even the most advanced U.S.bunker-buster bombs.The site, which began construction in 2020, is suspected of housing an undeclared uranium enrichment facility.
Analysts question why this previously untouched site is now a focus, especially after satellite imagery and intelligence reports suggest some nuclear materials may have survived prior strikes.
Deakin University professor Greg Barton highlights that 440kg of enriched uranium could still be accessible, raising concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities.
The article underscores the geopolitical tensions and the challenges of targeting deeply concealed nuclear infrastructure, emphasizing the potential implications for regional security and international relations.
