🇮🇷 A hidden, deep underground nuclear facility at Pickax Mountain remains completely untouched and is raising serious alarms about Iran’s ultimate ambitions. FDD senior advisor Richard Goldberg says the regime's broad production capabilities have been heavily degraded, but their strategic intent to cross the nuclear threshold remains unchanged.

🚨 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.

🇮🇷 INTERVIEW – SCOTT HORTON: “IRAN MAY BE CLOSER TO A NUKE, BUT THAT’S BECAUSE OF ISRAELI SABOTAGE” Scott Horton says Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear program backfired – pushing Tehran closer to weapons-grade enrichment. Scott Horton: “I agree with Trita – Iran is more likely to pursue a nuclear weapon now than ever before. But that shift didn’t happen after October 7. It began after Israel sabotaged Iran’s Natanz facility in April 2021 and assassinated the head of its nuclear program in 2020. That’s when Iran started enriching uranium to 60 percent. But 60 percent isn’t useful for weapons. You need at least 90 percent for a bomb. So why go to 60? It’s a bargaining chip. A bigger bluff. Something they can negotiate away. Iran says their fatwas against WMDs still stand, and they’re not building a bomb. That might still be true, but the risk of breakout is now much higher. And if you ask why, look at the provocations. Israel escalated, and Iran responded.”

🚨 SECRETARY MARCO RUBIO JUST TRUTH NUKED THE WHOLE WORLD "They could make our gas $8 a gallon and we wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING about it!" "A nuclear-armed Iran could do whatever the HELL they want with the Straits — and there's NOTHING anyone would be able to do about it!" "And that's one of the many reasons, apart from the massive loss of life and a nuclear strike, why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon." "I mean, so this is an example of if they had a nuclear weapon, they closed the Straits and they would tell the world, what are you going to do about it?!" "We have a nuclear weapon, we can attack you with it. That's the world NONE of us want to leave behind." "It won't happen under this President's watch, but some future President and future Americans will have to deal with this. So just one more example by these guys can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon." He said it perfectly.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Leaked terms of a potential nuclear breakthrough are raising serious eyebrows among global military observers. While foreign media claims Iran has allegedly agreed to transfer its highly enriched uranium and permanently freeze its nuclear weapons ambitions, military analyst Pravin Sawhney remains highly skeptical of these reports. Pravin notes that if Tehran had already caved on fundamental nuclear thresholds, the upcoming 60-day negotiation window wouldn't make any logical sense. Ultimately, Pravin insists that the leadership is holding out for deep, structural changes to primary sanctions before signing anything. Pravin Sawhney

Alastair Crooke: The US🇺🇸 may have signalled that it will resume nuclear weapons testing because Trump misunderstood a Russian missile test as a nuclear test ‘It seems to be based on a misunderstanding. Allegedly, Trump has proposed the idea of nuclear tests in response to Russian nuclear tests. But there hasn’t been a Russian nuclear test. The Burevestnik missile, that was publicised these recent days, like the Oreshnik. But this one has a nuclear power. It has got a propulsion system that is nuclear-based. Its warhead isn’t. There isn’t a nuclear warhead on it. It is a conventional warhead, but it is just instead of having a rocket propulsion, it has a nuclear drive that propels it. And this is why it’s able to stay aloft for a very long time, and in fact traverse the whole globe. But it’s nuclear propulsion, not a nuclear weapon. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Now, whether the Russians have been testing underground before, I doubt it…I’m sure they would have taken every opportunity to say it if they thought they had detected Russian or Chinese underground tests.’ -Alastair Crooke, the former Middle East Advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

‼️‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 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.

🇮🇷 Ayatollah forbids building the nuclear bomb! 🗣️ Iranian Nuclear scientist, Aghamiri: “We have the capability and capacity to build an atomic bomb, but we do not intend to do so. If, however, one day we are to build an atomic bomb, we have the capabilities to build it in the best way possible. All our nuclear scientists have thought about building an atomic bomb at some point, but the fatwa of the leader is the only thing holding them back. But all of our efforts in the last 2 decades was to show our people & the world that nuclear is not just a bomb; it is also radiopharmaceuticals, reactors, energy, well logging, and more.”

Trump: “We follow the material. That’s where the action is, and we’ll be hitting that area very probably pretty soon. There’s not much they can do about it. Normally, I wouldn’t say that. If I thought they could do something about it, I would never say that. But we’ll be hitting that area pretty soon and very heavily.”

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN’S DRONE SWARM IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE Retired Navy Senior Chief Malcolm Nance challenges the “we’ve degraded them” narrative: even after heavy strikes, Iran still has tens of thousands of drones ready to go. He says Tehran has proven it can absorb everything short of nuclear war. The U.S. can bomb runways and factories, but you can’t easily bomb 50,000 hidden drones in a country the size of Iran. The swarm threat remains very real. Malcolm Nance

President Trump says he and Putin talked about "de-nuclearizing" and that "there's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons." "We were talking about de-nuking; president Putin and I agreed we are going to do it in a very big way. There's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons. We already have so many you could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons and they're building nuclear weapons and China is building nuclear weapons and China is trying to catch up because you know, they're very substantially behind, but ithin five or six years they'll be even. And we're all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually hopefully much more productive. Hopefully there'll never be a time wren with -- when we need those weapons. If there's ever a time when we need nuclear weapon, the kind of weapons that we're building and Russia has and China has to a lesser extent but will have. That's going to be a very sad day. That's going to be probably oblivion."

It is a tough problem." "You would have to hit those facilities, the underground facilities, with GBU 57s..." "The Israelis, not only do they not have the weapon, they don't have the ability to deliver it..."

The Fordow Enrichment Facility – Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordow is located approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Tehran. It was built under a mountain near the city of Qom and is protected by anti-aircraft batteries. The facility appears to have been designed to withstand aerial attacks. According to satellite imagery, its construction began between 2002 and 2004, but Iran only reported its existence to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2009, after Western intelligence agencies, led by the United States, exposed the facility. Fordow is a relatively small facility, capable of housing only about 3,000 centrifuges. This led analysts to believe that the site could be used to divert and rapidly enrich low-grade uranium (from 60% to 90% — the level required for nuclear weapons). Under the nuclear deal form 2015 (JCPOA), Iran agreed to halt enrichment at Fordow and convert the facility into a research center. However, after the U.S. withdrew from the agreement, Iran resumed its enrichment activities there. Recent IAEA reports indicate that Iran has increased its production of uranium enriched to 60% at the Fordow facility, which currently houses approximately 2,700 centrifuges. Reports suggest that Iran could convert its current stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium into roughly 233 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium within three weeks — enough for nine nuclear bombs. Fordow is a central focus in Israel’s efforts to disrupt and dismantle Iran’s nuclear program. However, the United States is the only country that possesses the type of bomb necessary to successfully strike the underground Fordow nuclear site from the air.
