US President Donald Trump threatens US strikes against Iranian Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La, also known as Pickaxe Mountain, near the nuclear power plant in Natanz.
– We can see some activity at Pickaxe. I advise Iran not to try to be smart, because then we will have to hit hard, says Trump during the ongoing Republican convention in Texas.
The move comes after a warning from the think tank Center for Strategic & International Studies, CSIS, which analyzed newly taken satellite images and found increased activity.
“Together, these images show more road activity at Pickaxe Mountain in 2026 than at any other time in the history of the site,” writes CSIS.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has long suspected that the underground facility is used for sensitive uranium enrichment. The site likely serves as a safe haven for Iran's nuclear energy program, according to CSIS analysts.
