Trump: Several targets in Iran still need to be "taken care of"
There are still one or two Iranian targets that the US needs to "take care of," according to President Donald Trump.
Among these, he mentions the mountain Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La—also known as "Pickaxe Mountain"—located near the nuclear facility in Natanz.
"We’ve taken out their nuclear power. We have—I’d say one or two—targets that we still have to take care of, but we can do that in ten minutes," Trump told reporters late Saturday night (Swedish time).
The President had previously threatened to strike the area back in September of this year. Now, he is reiterating that stance:
"You could probably look at 'Pickaxe Mountain,' and that’s something that has to be taken care of. We can do it very quickly."
On Sunday, the Iranian military warned that a new war with the US could be more protracted, and that it is not up to the American president to decide when it would end—a statement reported by AFP, citing Iranian state television.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Saturday that Trump has not yet decided whether the US will launch further attacks on Iran. This follows reports from *MS Now* suggesting that the US could carry out new strikes as early as the day after the American midterm elections.
