300-450 ft underground, carved into granite: Pickaxe Mountain may house multiple linked enrichment facilities at different depths. Even the MOPs that hit Fordow may not reach this deep. Full conversation w/Traysar Industries’s Yadin Soffer on The Iran Breakdown.

🚨 U.S. TARGETING KEY IRANIAN SITES: KHARG ISLAND & FOROW (PICKAXE MOUNTAIN) Analysts pushing hard on two critical targets: - Kharg Island — Iran’s main oil export hub and funding source for the regime. Neutralize it while preserving infrastructure for the Iranian people post-regime. - Fordow/Pickaxe Mountain — Underground nuclear facility (their “Alamo”). Too deep for regular bombing — may need bigger weapons. This is the first time a President is seriously degrading a regime that chants “Death to America” as policy. Maximum pressure.

‼️‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 The nuclear standoff with Iran has shifted underground into heavily fortified mountain fortresses, placing Washington and Tehran on a direct collision course for pre-emptive military action. Israeli intelligence assessments shared with Washington reveal that Iran systematically relocated thousands of critical uranium-enrichment centrifuges into deep underground tunnels beneath Pickaxe Mountain near Natanz following recent military conflicts. Fearing Tehran is positioning itself for a rapid nuclear breakout from within an un-targetable mountain vault, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging President Donald Trump to authorize immediate kinetic strikes on the facility—a scenario Trump confirmed remains actively on the table. This development exposes the limits of surface-level airstrikes and signals that the war over Iran’s nuclear capabilities is entering its most dangerous, decapitating phase. By moving vital centrifuge infrastructure into granite-hardened tunnels beyond the reach of standard munitions, Iran is attempting to create an indestructible nuclear deterrent. Trump's willingness to target Pickaxe Mountain proves the White House will not allow a nuclear-armed Iran under any circumstances, raising the risk of a massive, bunker-busting military campaign that could engulf the entire region in war.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Mossad sounds the alarm, Iran's nuclear program may now be hidden inside a mountain America's biggest bomb can't reach Despite months of U.S. and Israeli strikes, Israeli intelligence believes Iran has not abandoned its nuclear ambitions. According to the assessment, thousands of uranium enrichment centrifuges have been relocated to the heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain complex near Natanz. Why this changes everything: Pickaxe Mountain is estimated to be between 300–450 feet (roughly 91–137 meters) beneath solid rock, with some analyses placing parts of the complex 78–145 meters below the mountain's summit, depending on the tunnel layout. Military analysts say the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator may not be sufficient to reliably destroy such a deeply buried and hardened facility with airstrikes alone, making it one of the toughest targets on Earth. If these intelligence assessments are correct, Iran's nuclear infrastructure may have entered a new era of survivability, raising the stakes for any future military confrontation.

🇮🇷 Iran built underground missile cities near the Strait of Hormuz. The B-1B is the best tool America has to crack them. So here’s the problem. Iran’s most critical facilities are buried 1,500 feet deep in solid granite with a natural compressive strength of 25,000 to 40,000 PSI. Against that rock, the world’s most advanced bunker buster is mathematically capped at a penetration depth of just 20 to 30 feet. Physics dictates the underground facilities remain functionally immune. Military engineers call the 1,400-foot gap between the bomb’s maximum reach and the facility ceiling the dead zone. Satellite data confirmed that even after weeks of intensive strikes, many sites remained operational. The engineering focus is on ensuring the launch infrastructure stays functional even if the surface is cratered. The B-1B is a decent lethal bird. But you cannot bomb a mountain into submission. Iran built its deterrent inside the mountain and spent 40 years doing it. The missile keeps flying. But the mountain and physics always wins.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Why Iran’s "Missile Cities" remain beyond the reach of U.S. power. Professor Seyed Marandi (Seyed Mohammad Marandi) exposes a major gap in the U.S. strategy within the current Middle East conflict: Tehran’s military backbone remains virtually untouched. Iran's underground facilities - many of which are literally built into mountains under hundreds of feet of granite - have been near impervious to America's attempt to destroy them by bombing: "Iranian missile and drone (inventories), far more than 60% are intact." Iran’s subterranean shield has proven impenetrable: "Most of the Iranian underground bases have not even been opened yet." Despite precision strikes, Marandi reveals that "the Americans... never were able to destroy any of the bases" or the key production facilities. By moving assets into "tunnels underground," Iran has successfully neutralized the impact of superior Western firepower. This strategic reality suggests that any hope for a quick military resolution is a dangerous illusion.

🚨 IRAN’S URANIUM STOCKPILE MAY NOW BE HIDDEN INSIDE “PICKAXE MOUNTAIN” U.S. intelligence sources believe Iran has moved its remaining enriched uranium stockpile to a heavily fortified underground complex known as “Pickaxe Mountain.” The site is believed to be deeply buried inside a mountain near Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, with tunnels reinforced to withstand even the most powerful conventional bunker-buster weapons. If the reports are accurate, it would mean Tehran has placed its most sensitive nuclear material inside one of the hardest targets on Earth to destroy. Satellite imagery over recent years has shown massive tunnel entrances, expanding underground chambers, and heavy security, suggesting the site was designed specifically to protect critical nuclear assets. For military planners, the implications are serious. Facilities like this are built for one purpose: to survive a strike and preserve a nuclear program even if everything above ground is destroyed. If Iran’s uranium has indeed been moved there, the strategic equation around its nuclear capability may have just changed dramatically.

🚨🚨🚨 IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER JUST SAID THE MOST TERRIFYING 15 WORDS OF THIS ENTIRE WAR. READ EVERY SINGLE ONE. 🚨🚨🚨 "They struck our nuclear facilities, but they could not destroy Iran's nuclear program." That's Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi — CONFIRMING the strikes hit nuclear sites. And telling the world it didn't work. Let that sink in. 💀 The US used its most powerful bunker-buster bombs on Natanz 💀 Iran is publicly CONFIRMING the nuclear sites were hit 💀 And in the SAME sentence saying the program SURVIVED 💀 Iran isn't denying, hiding, or deflecting — they're TAUNTING 💀 "You hit us with everything you had. We're STILL here." ⚠️ The US spent $2,000,000,000,000+ developing the most advanced bunker-buster arsenal on Earth — specifically for this moment. Iran says it wasn't enough. ⚠️ Israel destroyed Iraq's Osirak reactor in 1981 with ONE strike and ended Iraq's nuclear program forever. Iran just took the same hit and said "try again." The media is showing you "US strikes Iran's nuclear facilities" like it's mission accomplished. They're NOT showing you that Iran just told the ENTIRE world: our nuclear program is deeper, more dispersed, and more protected than your best weapons can reach. Here's what that means → and what comes NEXT: → Iran built Natanz underground. The US bombed it. Iran says it survived. → Iran built Fordow INSIDE A MOUNTAIN. If Natanz survived, Fordow is untouchable. → Iran has spent 20 years building redundancy — multiple sites, multiple depths, multiple locations → The US just used its BEST shot. If it didn't work, there is no Plan B short of a nuclear weapon. Now here's the part nobody is saying out loud: Iran's nuclear program just went from "peaceful enrichment" to "existential survival." Before today, Iran could negotiate. They had leverage. They could trade their program for sanctions relief. After today? Their nuclear facilities have been BOMBED. The diplomatic path is DEAD. If you're Iran and your "peaceful" nuclear sites were just attacked — what's the argument for NOT building a weapon anymore? The US didn't destroy Iran's nuclear program. They just gave Iran the justification to FINISH it. Every nuclear expert on Earth is thinking the same thing right now: the clock to an Iranian bomb just got shorter, not longer. What happens next: → Iran accelerates enrichment at sites the US CAN'T reach → Iran withdraws from the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) → The IAEA loses ALL access to Iranian nuclear sites → Within 12-18 months, Iran has enough material for a weapon → And the world has ZERO visibility into what's happening underground The most dangerous sentence in geopolitics isn't a threat. It's "you hit us and we're still standing." Iran just said it. To the entire world. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 They don't want you seeing this. Follow + RT to beat the algorithm. 🚨

Iran is not twenty years in Afghanistan Iran is not eight years in Iraq Iran is not Libya. Iran is not Syria. Trump is not George Bush Trump is not Barack Obama. Virtually all Arab states, including the Iranian people secretly support—and are even celebrating—Israel’s efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Fordow nuclear facility in Iran is located approximately 300 feet underground. It is built into a mountain and contains centrifuges used for uranium enrichment. If anyone thinks this is for peaceful purposes, please have your IQ checked. The President will end up giving Israel the GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), if he hasn’t already. And that will be the end of it. Not one American soul will be involved. DNI Tulsi Gabbard: “Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.”

🔥Jack is right on the money. These bombs are designed to penetrate bunkers but as he explains the Fordow site was built “UNDER A MOUNTAIN FOR THIS PRECISE REASON”. It would require multiple strikes AND the subsequent bombs would have to land directly in the craters created to reach those centrifuges. Also as Jack Posobiec points out this is why a commando raid (Think Tora Bora) was being floated since it may be the only way to determine if there was complete destruction rendering it inoperable. Something else to consider though…the nuclear material that is present at a destroyed Fordow could prove hazardous to troops on the ground.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The whole Pickaxe Mountain drama may be a stage set, built to sell Trump an exit that has nothing to do with the real war Everyone is suddenly talking about Pickaxe Mountain, the fortified underground site Trump now vows to hit "pretty soon." Alex Christoforou of The Duran thinks that is exactly the point, and he keeps asking the question nobody else does: what does that mountain have to do with the Strait of Hormuz? Nothing. And Hormuz is the entire war. The wild part? He reads Pickaxe as theater, a sequel to last year's "Midnight Hammer." Eleven nights of airstrikes in, the US is drifting away from Iran, not toward it, pushed back from the Gulf to Jordan to Israel, its missile stockpiles draining. A dramatic strike on a mountain gives Trump a victory he can sell hard: we obliterated the nuclear threat, mission accomplished, time to pause. Which means the pause is the real objective. The moment markets hear Pickaxe fell, oil eases and stocks lift, buying Washington space to rearm, resupply, and lean on regional allies before round four. His darker frame: this looks like a forever war by design, Hormuz the one lever Iran will never willingly drop. Alex Christoforou

‘The US will have to drop at least 6 GBU-57 aerial bombs on Fordow’ – CNN is already discussing the attack on the Iranian nuclear facility. - One of Iran’s nuclear facilities is located deep under a mountain. The US has the ability to hit it with special bombs. Tell us how it works. - This is probably the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world – the GBU-57. It is capable of penetrating about 60 meters of fortified structures. The problem with Fordow is that, as far as I understand, some of the facilities may be located at a depth of more than 90 meters. Nevertheless, this is a huge bomb – about 2.3 tons of explosives, the entire weight is about 13.6 tons. The only means of delivery is a B-2 strategic bomber. As I mentioned, it is about 5,600 kilometers from the target. This is an incredibly effective weapon. I had such weapons in Afghanistan – we used them several times, and they showed excellent results. But the question is whether it can penetrate deep enough to reach all the centrifuges. I think we might need at least half a dozen of these to have the desired effect at Fordow. - SK

🛑The Dangerous Trap Under “Pickaxe Mountain” Joe Kent (Joe Kent) lays out why striking Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain is a dead‑end strategy — and how Israel is using it to trap the U.S. further in an unwinnable war. ⚠️ He explains: “We can hit the surface of it… but what is that going to do for us?” Despite what Secretary of War Pete Hegseth implied at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, the U.S. in fact canNOT penetrate beneath that mountain. Trying will only further waste critical and limited strike assets. Kent warns that enriched uranium buried “beneath miles of granite” means the U.S. would have to “forever chase the uranium around Iran and continue to bomb" --and forever fail. He adds that Israel is driving this narrative: “They can fearmonger… all their talking heads go out there and say Pickaxe Mountain, Pickaxe Mountain" is where the next mythical 'nuclear weapon's program' is being hidden. And he calls the enriched‑uranium demand exactly what it is: “a poison pill to kill any negotiations” — one that risks locking America into an endless Iran war with no achievable objective.

‼️‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 BREAKING | The White House has drawn a explicit, zero-tolerance red line, signaling that any attempt by Tehran to build a hardened subterranean nuclear shield will be met with immediate destruction. President Donald Trump explicitly declared that the U.S. military will target Iran's new subterranean facility at "Pickaxe Mountain," warning that Washington will unleash overwhelming force against any location associated with Iranian nuclear reconstitution. Trump made clear that any facility linked to Tehran's nuclear ambitions—regardless of how deeply buried or heavily fortified—is now marked for an immediate strike. Targeting Pickaxe Mountain represents a decisive move to pre-empt Iran's strategy of burying its centrifuges beneath mountain ranges where conventional munitions cannot reach. By publicly committing to hit these reinforced sites "very, very powerfully," the administration is signaling its readiness to deploy specialized bunker-busting ordnance—or execute sustained, multi-wave deep-penetration operations—to prevent Iran from achieving breakout capacity. This escalates the standoff from tactical signaling to an imminent target-destruction doctrine, stripping away diplomatic ambiguity and placing the two nations on the immediate brink of open warfare over Iran's underground nuclear core.

❗️❗️❗️🇺🇸🇮🇷White House officials told The Wall Street Journal that President Donald Trump is leaning toward expanding U.S. military operations against Iran, following a meeting in the Situation Room to discuss three major escalatory pathways. The options under consideration include deploying ground troops to seize Kharg Island—Iran's primary oil export hub—expanding airstrikes to target broader energy infrastructure, and bombing "Pickaxe Mountain," a heavily fortified underground tunnel complex associated with Tehran's nuclear program. The underground nuclear site, located near the Natanz complex, is deeply buried within granite rock at depths ranging from 300 to 475 feet (90 to 145 meters). Military experts assess that this extreme depth likely places the facility beyond the reach of standard U.S. bunker-buster munitions, making a physical ground assault or sabotage the only surefire ways to neutralize it. While Trump has not made a final decision, some administration officials noted his ongoing reluctance to deploy ground troops, particularly after he walked back previous threats to take control of Kharg Island. Despite the highly escalatory plans on the table, Trump also claimed that Iranian negotiators have recently reached out to request an urgent meeting, signaling that behind-the-scenes diplomatic backchannels remain active even as military tensions escalate.

Tucker Carlson on Iran: “The Iraq war was a catastrophe, and Trump was the first major political figure willing to say so. He’s always known it. So the question is: why would he even contemplate another war, this time with Iran? One answer is that Washington may not fully control whether such a war begins. Israel, under Benjamin Netanyahu, could decide to strike Iran on its own, without coordination. If that happened, Iran would almost certainly retaliate against Israel, and could also hit U.S. assets and energy infrastructure in the Gulf. At that point, America would be pulled in automatically. From that perspective, the U.S. may not be seeking a war with Iran at all, but instead trying to restrain the actions of its closest ally and prevent a wider conflict.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says Pickaxe Mountain gets hit "probably pretty soon," a target even a tactical nuke reportedly cannot kill... The WSJ reports Israeli intelligence claims Iran moved THOUSANDS of centrifuges into tunnels under Pickaxe Mountain, and Trump answered from the podium: the mountain gets hit "probably pretty soon." The problem is not small. The site sits so deep that even a tactical nuclear weapon reportedly could damage it without killing it. Joe Kent resigned from this administration over this war, and he calls the uranium chase a moving goalpost. Bomb this mountain and another site surfaces in another leak, forever, because enriched uranium can be buried but never bombed away. Finishing that job takes boots on the ground, and ground operations, in his read, are more live now than at any point in the war. The Israeli choreography sharpens the worry: a cabinet statement stepping back from the American campaign, a leak aiming every gun at one mountain, a prime minister freshly photographed at Dimona. Deniability built in advance, he warns, for the day something far bigger than a bunker buster gets used and Washington gets to say it never knew. Meanwhile, per the Telegraph and the Post, even the missile math gets hidden from the top. The wild part? The exit sits in plain sight: declare the 25 year setback, play the rally music, leave a hero. He believes Trump knows it. Joe Kent

‘US🇺🇸 victory in Iran would mean that the US can pivot to the Pacific for the first time and focus on China🇨🇳.’ -Captain James Fanell, former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations of the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet on Going Underground The one-at-a-time Ukraine proxy war, followed by the attack on Iran was Washington’s way of weakening two of China’s strongest allies, and creating advantageous situations for turning their full attention towards Beijing. The deep state’s plan to destabilise China will shortly come into effect, no matter what Trump’s friendly rhetoric in Beijing may be.

🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 ISRAEL CAN’T FINISH THIS WAR WITHOUT THE U.S. Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski (Ret.) says Israel lacks the capability to destroy Iran’s hardened underground targets on its own. That limitation could pull America even deeper into the conflict. Israel may be great at starting fights, but finishing one against a country as large and dug-in as Iran might require more U.S. muscle than Washington wants to admit. Karen Kwiatkowski

Netanyahu: Iran has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile towards Diego Garcia "That is 4000 km. I have always warned. Now they have that capability. They are penetrating deep into Europe. They have already targeted the European country Cyprus. They are taking everything under aim," he believes. 🇬🇧 Meanwhile, The Telegraph writes that attacks on the British base in the Indian Ocean, used by the US Air Force, have demonstrated the capability of Iranian missiles to reach London. The Israel Army warns that Iran may soon attack Europe. ( The US and Israel strongly want Europe to get involved in a war with Iran) Earlier, suspicious missiles fell on facilities that Iran, according to its claims, did not attack (Azerbaijan, Turkey). Experts have repeatedly warned about possible false flag attacks to change the mood in Europe and the US.

Thursday, May 28, 2026, 7:17 AM: It's not every day you wake up late in May and see a robust system that originated from off the coast of the Siberian peninsula three weeks ago now affecting California with a deep, unusually cold Siberian 552 DM low axis. Currently, this system is causing stormy weather in the Bay Area and unstable weather trending for a large part of our region with multiple embedded disturbances rotating around the parent low that is slowly moving throughout the state. There's a possible chance of isolated thunderstorms this afternoon in San Joaquin, Bakersfield, and maybe as far south as Santa Barbara County. One of these embedded disturbances may even reach as far south as western Los Angeles County by at least 7PM. However, the third low axis creates deep cyclonic flow there may be more showers due to a deep marine layer deck hovering 4,300 feet from Santa Barbara to San Diego counties. The temperatures will remain very March-like in the 67°F - 72°F range, and even colder in the mountains above 6,000 feet at 51°F - 54°F during the day, and at night 32°F - 35°F at higher elevations above 7,000 feet. The system will move into Texas by Friday at 4 PM and cause a new round of severe weather opportunities and flooding concerns. #CAwx #rain #May
