President Donald Trump said the United States is preparing to strike an underground facility near the Natanz nuclear site, warning Iran to 'be ready.' He added that Washington is monitoring the location and will act whenever it detects an attempt to resume nuclear activity.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning warned that the US is preparing to strike an underground nuclear facility near Natanz, according to a statement he made publicly. Trump explicitly told Iran to "be ready — it will likely happen soon," adding that Washington is tracking activity at the site and will strike whenever it detects an attempt to resume nuclear work. The threat escalates a weeks-long campaign of US warnings against Iran's nuclear program. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Trump threatened to strike the Karkas nuclear facility in the same region, and earlier this week he threatened to reach the Mount Makosh site. No specific timeframe for the strike was given, and no independent confirmation of a specific operational directive was available at the time of reporting. US military posture remains unconfirmed beyond the president's public statement.
