NewzPresident Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday against potential United States military action, stating that Washington may target Iran's Pickaxe Mountain following observed activity at the site. Speaking publicly, Trump urged Tehran "not to get cute," adding that the U.S. would respond by hitting them "very hard."
The Pickaxe Mountain location is situated near Iran's Natanz facility and has been monitored for suspicious developments. The warning comes amid a broader regional conflict involving Iran that has driven up oil prices.
Addressing the economic fallout, Trump stated that the surged oil prices likely will not decrease until after the U.S. midterm elections. Meanwhile, administration advisors have raised warnings regarding the trajectory of the ongoing conflict.
