President Donald Trump said Monday evening that the suspected Iranian nuclear site Har HaMachosh is a 'possible target' for a US strike, according to N12 reporter Asaf Rozenzweig. The statement follows his earlier remark that the US 'will reach' the site.
President Donald Trump on Monday evening identified the suspected Iranian nuclear site Har HaMachosh as a "possible target" for a US strike, saying: "Har HaMachosh is a possible target, you know, a possible target for one nice, big, fat strike." The remark, reported by N12's Asaf Rozenzweig, came amid a rapid sequence of statements from Trump throughout the evening.
At 23:25 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported Trump's claim that the US would strike the site "pretty soon" and that military operations could last two to three weeks. In the same minute, additional reports emerged: Trump said US forces have the site under constant surveillance; he described it as a "possible target for one nice, big, fat strike"; he said the US "may strike" and called it a "possible target"; and finally, he said the US "will reach" the site and told Iran to "prepare." The reports were attributed to N12's Asaf Rozenzweig and i24NEWS's Amichai Stein.
Har HaMachosh is a suspected nuclear facility that has never been disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency. The Zioneer has reported on Trump's broader threats against Iranian nuclear sites, including the Karkas facility near Natanz, and his warnings about the Strait of Hormuz.
No operational details or timeline for a potential strike have been provided, and it remains unclear whether Trump's statements reflect a concrete plan or rhetorical escalation.
