President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S. would ​take out Pickaxe Mountain in Iran, as he ‌warned that Washington would continue to hit the country hard.

"We're going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ​ready," Trump said in an interview on the Hugh ​Hewitt Show.

"We're watching (Pickaxe Mountain) closely. We see no ⁠activity there. They're not doing well with their nuclear ​situation. Every time we hear about it, we blow ​it up. So they don't like talking about it. But we'll probably give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon," Trump said.

Pickaxe Mountain, located ​near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is ​a heavily fortified site that hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes that ‌experts ⁠assess as beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs in the U.S. arsenal.

1. Yeah, Donnie. Whatever.

I thought it was "obliterated" back in 2025?

On edit: I don't think the Iranians call it "pickax mountain." Probably something along the lines of "Donnie's a Dumbass Mountain." They understand US capabilities and built the site accordingly.

2. Why does Persia have a mountain named "Pickaxe"?

Feels pretty 19th Century Old West.

Maybe it's a translation of "Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La"?
