Know Pickaxe Mountain: Iran's Military Facility Targeted by Trump

YOGYAKARTA - The discussion about Pickaxe Mountain is sticking. The reason is that Pickaxe Mountain is said to be one of the targets of the operation targeted by US President Donald Trump in the military attack he launched on Iran. The community itself knows Pickaxe Mountain as a large Iranian military base. But is that the reason Trump is targeting Pickaxe Mountain?

Pickaxe Mountain is suspected of being a military and nuclear site owned by Iran. The location of this mountain is near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Reported by Al Jazeera, Wednesday, July 17, Iran's military and nuclear facilities are suspected to be deep underground. It is unpredictable how deep it is, but it is estimated to be hundreds of meters underground solid granite rock. The deep placement of the position is indeed carried out for security from anti-bunker bombs.

The American-based Al-Monitor site also explained that there were suspicions that Tehran was trying to build a secret uranium enrichment facility. The function of the enrichment is estimated to be a strategic shield for Tehran's nuclear program.

Although the construction carried out at the Pickaxe location has started since 2020, Taheran himself denied the information that has been circulating. Taheran actually stated that the facility is only for assembling and producing advanced centrifuges.

With this suspicion, President Trump said that America would soon seize Mount Pickaxe. On the occasion of his interview on The Hugh Hewitt Show, Trump also said that he asked Iran to prepare for the threat of an attack from America.

"We're watching Pickaxe Mountain very closely. We're not seeing any activity there. Their nuclear situation is not going well. Every time we hear about it, we blow it up. So they don't like talking about it. But most likely we will soon attack Pickaxe," Trump said.
