Trump threatened to hit Iran's underground nuclear facility in Mount Trump

In an interview, Trump stated that the United States would strike at Iran's underground nuclear facility at Mount Sakayama and warned that heavy air strikes would continue against Iran. Trump said, “We will destroy Mount Al-Qaeda and tell the Iranians to be ready.” He stated that the United States had been closely monitoring the facility, “there was currently no activity there. Their nuclear programme is not progressing well. Every time we find anything, we blow it up. We'll probably hit the mountain soon." It is understood that Mount Al-Nattanz, located near Iran's uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, has two deep underground tunnels and is considered to be one of Iran's most robust underground nuclear facilities and may even be able to withstand an attack by the United States of America's most active drilling bomb. Trump also reiterated that the United States will continue to hit Iran hard tonight and tomorrow, saying, “We will hit them hard tonight and they will hit them hard tomorrow, and they have nothing to do with it”。
