Iran

US President Donald Trump stated in an interview:

"I am going to hit Iran very hard tonight and tomorrow. The memorandum of understanding was a test, and they did not respect it."

Trump added that he is on "very good" terms with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but noted:

"Sometimes I disagree with him, and I make sure he knows it."

When asked about "Pickaxe" Mountain, located south of Natanz, he replied:

"We have a lot of surveillance capability. But Pickaxe is a potential target, a potential target for a big, direct hit right at the entrance. And I think you might see that."

Margin Note:

Pickaxe Mountain: This is the Western designation for the area known in Iran as "Kuh-e Kolang" (Pickaxe Mountain) south of the city of Natanz. US intelligence estimates indicate that it houses fortified underground nuclear facilities, and Washington classifies it as a strategic military target due to its mountainous terrain and advanced engineering preparations.

United States Terrorist Forces Central Command (CENTCOM):

At exactly 4:45 PM Eastern Time today, US Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, under the direction of the Commander-in-Chief.

These strikes will continue to exact a heavy price on Iranian forces and undermine their capability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
