President Donald Trump said the memorandum of understanding with Iran was a test that Tehran failed, and that he will strike Iran very hard tonight and tomorrow. He added that Mount Pikaks, Iran's deepest underground nuclear facility, could be a target for a major attack, according to reports.
President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Iran late Monday, declaring that the memorandum of understanding with Tehran was a test that Iran failed, and vowing to strike 'very hard tonight and tomorrow.' Trump specifically identified Mount Pikaks, described as Iran's deepest underground nuclear facility, as a possible target for what he called a 'big, fat and beautiful attack.'
The statement, reported by Israeli media, follows earlier threats by Trump on Monday that the nuclear facility could be a target. As The Zioneer reported earlier, Trump characterized the Islamabad agreement as a failed experiment. The new statement provides a concrete timeline for potential strikes, indicating that military action may be imminent.
The MOU, which was reportedly signed in Islamabad, has been the subject of intense debate. Trump has increasingly signaled that he considers the agreement dead. The specific mention of Mount Pikaks, which is believed to be immune to conventional bunker busters, raises the stakes. However, it remains unclear whether the strikes will be carried out or if this is a rhetorical escalation. No official confirmation from the Pentagon or the White House has been issued beyond Trump's statement.
