US President Trump has publicly threatened imminent military strikes against remaining Iranian nuclear targets, including 'Pickaxe Mountain' (Fordow), while simultaneously acknowledging ongoing, albeit unresolved, negotiations with Iran. This rhetoric follows a 'tough' call with Israeli PM Netanyahu, who reportedly pressed for immediate strikes, indicating a potential divergence in US-Israeli timing for military action. The actual status of alleged prior US strikes and the existence of 'Pickaxe Mountain' as a distinct facility remain unconfirmed.
