President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the US has been surveilling Iran's Mount Makosh (Pickaxe Mountain) nuclear site with 'the greatest cameras in the world' and described the facility as 'not a big problem,' while warning that if no deal is reached, the US will 'take it out very easily.'
President Donald Trump, in a new statement, said the US has been monitoring Iran's Mount Makosh (Pickaxe Mountain) nuclear site with 'the greatest cameras in the world' and described the facility as 'not a big problem,' while warning that if no deal is reached, the US will 'take it out very easily.'
The remark follows two earlier statements today: at 15:54, Trump said in a Fox News interview that the US held 'good talks' with Iran and downplayed Mount Makosh, warning he would 'complete the mission' if no deal. At 16:41, he said the US was monitoring the site with 'the greatest cameras' and that it was 'not a big problem,' according to Fox News.
The repeated comments come amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations, with Trump this week issuing the sharpest ultimatum yet: a diplomatic path to remove Iran's enriched uranium under American supervision, or military action to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump has previously stated that the US would 'definitely strike' any nuclear site and that the damage already inflicted on Iran's strategic infrastructure would take 20-25 years to repair.
No specific timeline for a deal has been announced, and it remains unclear whether negotiations are progressing toward a final accord.
