Trump's Target is Iran's Mysterious Facility: Why is Pickaxe Mountain Important?

As tensions escalate between the US and Iran, US President Trump is threatening to target Iran's 'Pickaxe Mountain' nuclear facility.This threat raises many questions about the nature of this nuclear complex, which is considered one of Iran's most critical facilities.Pickaxe Mountain is located south of Tehran and contains two underground tunnel complexes.According to US intelligence reports, the facility is built deep into the mountain, beneath hundreds of meters of solid granite, making it difficult to destroy and providing protection against bunker-busting bombs.Intelligence agencies suspect that Tehran is attempting to establish a secret and undeclared uranium enrichment facility here as a 'strategic backup'.

We are watching Pickaxe Mountain very closely. We don't see any activity there. They are not doing well with their nuclear situation. Whenever we hear something, we will strike. That's why they don't like to talk about it. But we will probably hit Pickaxe Mountain soon.

However, Tehran claims that the facility is only used for the assembly and production of advanced centrifuges.
