After another night of U.S. strikes on Iran, President Trump declared America isn't done fighting and vowed to hit Iran's fortified Fordow nuclear facility.


The U.S. military completed another night of strikes on Iran, and while the attacks weren’t particularly significant, Trump appears to have decided where the campaign is headed. In a statement at the White House, the president sent a clear message to the ayatollah regime—the strikes will continue. Trump also addressed Iran’s new facility at Mount Pickaxe: “We’ll be hitting that area pretty soon.”

After the tenth night of strikes ended without major results, President Donald Trump is considering expanding the operation in Iran. The coming days could determine the fate of the campaign—and the clock is pressing him to make a decision.

Based on what he said a short time ago at the White House, Trump appears to have decided that the United States is going back to war. “If we leave the fight with Iran now, it will take them 20-25 years to recover. We’re absolutely not done with the job, we’re not ready to leave at this stage. Any nuclear facility that the Iranians might consider reactivating, we will hit it again.”

The American leader’s threat comes on a day when Israeli officials spoke to U.S. media outlets, painting a worrying picture. Iran, sources in Jerusalem say, has transferred thousands of centrifuges and parts of its enriched uranium to Mount Pickaxe, the regime’s most fortified nuclear facility.

Trump is already ready to send bombers and cruise missiles: “The new site they’re talking about. We will hit that site without a doubt. We will hit hard at any new site.” He later repeated the message and emphasized: “Without a doubt—we will strike at Mount Pickaxe.”
