🇮🇷 🇺🇸 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

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. Studying Nuclear Strike On Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain Facility, B61-11 Could Be An Option An Israeli government source claims Washington has studied using one or two tactical nuclear weapons against Iran’s deeply buried Atomic Energy Organization facility at Pickaxe Mountain. The reported studies allegedly began in early April, examining whether a nuclear weapon could destroy the hardened underground site. If the U.S. pursued such an option, the B61-11 earth penetrating nuclear bomb could potentially be considered because it was designed for hardened underground targets. No final decision has reportedly been made, and there is no public confirmation that the B61-11 is being considered. If true, this would represent an extraordinary escalation in the U.S. Iran confrontation. The claim comes from an anonymous Israeli government source and has not been independently verified.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran built a mountain to survive a nuclear bomb... It reportedly just made the strike list. Axios is reporting a full cabinet session in the Situation Room to plan a far bigger air campaign, with Trump warning that "next week comes the power plant, next week comes the bridges." Per the report, one option on that table is Pickaxe Mountain, an enrichment site buried so deep that an adviser to Iran's parliament speaker calls it the most fortified nuclear facility on earth. The same adviser warned the region "will turn to hell" if it is touched. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson took the threat seriously and the target less so. In his assessment, Iran's deep sites were engineered to ride out far worse than conventional bombing: "A nuclear bomb is not going to take them out." A strike on Pickaxe, by that logic, buys pure escalation with nothing to show for it. He also revisited the "obliterated" claim from last June. The DIA assessed otherwise at the time, and its director was removed months later. Larry's reading of the lesson: the narrative outranks the intelligence. The box, as he sees it: the one target guaranteed to unleash everything is the one target the bombs cannot crack. SonofNewAmericanRevolution

🇺🇸🇮🇷 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

🛑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. This is one of the clearest explanations yet of how U.S. strategy is being shaped — and distorted — by the setting of unattainable goals.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 On every single war goal Trump set, ballistic missiles, proxy networks, seizing Iranian oil, choosing the next Ayatollah, he has walked back every single one. Ian Bremmer says world leaders from India to Europe to Canada are quietly redirecting defense spending away from American systems. Jobs and contracts that won't come back for decades. One unintended silver lining: OPEC is over and the world is moving faster to renewables because nobody can trust a handful of actors with drones won't close the next chokepoint.

🚨 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.

‼️‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 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.

⭕️ Trump Threatens New Strikes on Iran, Says U.S. Will “Take Out Pickaxe Mountain” President Donald Trump issued a series of new threats against Iran during an interview on The Hugh Hewitt Show, saying the U.S. is preparing further attacks and dismissing the possibility of reviving the collapsed memorandum of understanding. ➤ On Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site: Trump said the location is “on the list” and being closely watched. While claiming the U.S. has seen no activity there, he said Washington would “probably give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon” and later declared: “We’re going to take out Pickaxe Mountain.” ➤ Trump said the U.S. would strike Iran “very hard tonight” and again tomorrow, adding that “there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.” ➤ On the failed MOU: Trump described the agreement as a “test” rather than a deal, claiming Iran repeatedly walked away from it after negotiations had been settled. He called Iranian officials “extremely unreliable” and said agreements with them are “made to be broken.” ➤ On Iran’s leadership: Trump said the U.S. had already “knocked out” two Iranian governments and taken out “about 25%” of the current leadership. Asked whether the U.S. knew the locations of remaining senior officials, he said: “Yeah, I do,” but declined to provide details. ➤ On Iran’s nuclear program: Trump claimed Iran would use a nuclear weapon “within one day” if it obtained one and said the U.S. destroys Iranian nuclear capabilities whenever new activity is detected. ➤ On anti-government protests: Trump discouraged Iranians from returning to the streets unless they were armed, arguing that government forces would kill demonstrators. He claimed, without providing evidence, that the Iranian government has killed 52,000 people, a figure about 10 times higher than documented estimates from pro-regime change groups.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump remains trapped because he still refuses to accept how much leverage Iran possesses. He still thinks overwhelming American power will eventually force Tehran to give in, and political scientist Ian Bremmer says that's the mistake keeping this war alive. Instead, Iran has shown it can keep raising the economic cost of the war without crossing Trump's red lines. Ian doesn't think Iran believes it can defeat the U.S militarily; it believes it can make continuing the war more painful than ending it. And so far, it's working. Trump keeps threatening to destroy Iran's infrastructure, eliminate its leadership and dramatically escalate the conflict. But Ian points to something more revealing than Trump's rhetoric: His actions. Despite months of fighting, Trump has avoided the biggest escalations. No ground invasion, no sustained campaign against Iran's energy sector, and no full-scale assault on the country's leadership. Even after American casualties, his instinct has repeatedly been to play them down rather than use them to justify a much wider war. And Tehran has noticed. It increasingly sees a president who talks like he's preparing for total war but behaves like someone searching for an exit. The bigger problem, Ian says, is inside the White House itself. Trump's advisers know the military and economic costs are mounting, and many want the war to end, but very few are willing to tell Trump the uncomfortable truth: Iran has far more leverage over how this ends than Washington expected. Until Trump accepts that reality, Ian believes a genuine compromise remains unlikely. ian bremmer

‼️‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 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.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 A 30,000 pound bunker buster goes 200 feet through dirt and 20 feet through granite. Fordow sat under 300 feet of dirt and still took two or three sequential strikes to crack open. Political scientist Robert Pape runs the same math on Pickaxe Mountain, buried under roughly 500 feet of solid granite, which works out to needing about 25 successful hits stacked on the same spot. That arithmetic is why the conversation inside the building keeps sliding toward a nuclear weapon, and the only other answer is American soldiers walking in and taking the place by hand. Robert A.

🚨🚨🚨 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. 🚨

victory already declared, an exit still missing, and an ending built on oil money Matthew Boyle, Breitbart's Washington bureau chief, has spent months talking to people inside the administration, and he shared what they keep telling him. In that telling, Trump already won this war. The nuclear program is buried, the objective is met, and the only puzzle left is the door out. The exit he keeps hearing about runs through energy. The rough model is Venezuela, where one quick operation ended with Chevron on the ground and business flowing, and the idea is that any lasting arrangement with Iran will eventually include American energy giants like Chevron and Exxon developing oil and gas fields Iran has never gotten full value from. He heard the logic from Steve Witkoff directly in an interview last year: Iran can keep spreading chaos, or it can "join the League of Nations" and get rich instead. Money is green, as Matthew puts it, and he believes the first deal collapsed partly because it had no money in it. His most striking claim: well-known figures outside government privately urged Trump to use NUCLEAR weapons on Iran, and Trump laughed them out of the room. Restraint, he argues, has been the untold story of this war. So his forecast is more rounds of escalation and calm, and then an ending that may never be signed at all. It just stops. Matthew Boyle

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Pentagon built a full-size copy of Iran's Pickax Mountain in New Mexico, and what's being rehearsed on it is how Washington hopes to end the war Somewhere on the White Sands range there is now a granite mountain with Iranian tunnels inside it. Anthony Aguilar says you don't spend that money unless the president is still weighing a move on Pickax, and he lists the three plans he believes are on the desk. A naval push to grab a brief window of control in the strait, which the captured Anduril submersible was scouting. Something against Pickax itself, a bunker-buster strike, a special forces raid to seize the nuclear material, or in his view a tactical nuclear weapon, still on the table. And least favored, a landing on Kharg Island. None of these are about winning. His read is that Washington lost the ground game, can't stop the long game, and now just wants to run out the clock with something it can call proof that Iran will never have a bomb. As he put it: "How do we just end this?" The problem is that Iran's nuclear future now runs through a deal with Moscow, and no raid on a mountain changes that.

President Trump's speech translated: - The US is winning (just shy of we've officially won) - NATO countries that are dependent on the Strait of Hormuz can either buy American energy or clear the strait themselves. - Trump did NOT mention ground troops as some press outlets reported he would (thank goodness). - Trump did not mention Kurdish forces as others predicted. - The war is not over (but he came very close to spiking the football). - 32 days in, TBD on how many more, but probably 2-3 more weeks. - Trump is now signaling publicly that the original objectives have been sufficiently achieved to his liking (no nuclear program, no ballistic missile program etc.) and he's ready to begin the EXIT. - President Trump is reserving the right to define when he's happy with the results and end Operation Epic Fury. It's time to nation build here at home. Let's declare victory and LEAVE.

🇮🇷 Iran's Pickaxe Mountain doesn't need to be destroyed: seal the doors, cut the power and the air, and the fortress dies on its own... Tehran's air defenses fired for the better part of an hour overnight with no strike on the capital ever confirmed, while the night's wave hit the usual south plus Tabriz and Khuzestan. Retired Major General Randy Manner offered his hypothesis for the mystery: drones over the capital, sent to make the defenses light up and reveal themselves to satellites, mapping Tehran for a strike that has not come yet. Then he took apart the Pickaxe debate. Trump says the area gets hit "probably pretty soon," and the argument rages over whether even a tactical nuke could crack something buried that deep. Wrong question, in his telling. Deep underground fortresses are 1950s TECHNOLOGY, built for an era of inaccurate nukes and 90 day sealed survival, and nobody needs to touch the vault: destroy the entrances, the power, the water and the air supply with ordinary long range missiles, repeat every few months, and the facility underneath dies. He also ran the war's bill through a career of costing deployments: the official $37.5 billion is off by two or three times, with the real number between $80 and $120 billion once destroyed equipment and spent munitions are counted honestly. His forecast for the next four to five days is a sharply increased probability of heavier attacks. His hope, offered just as plainly: somebody finds the exit first.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu is reportedly bringing Trump fresh intel on Pickaxe Mountain... and the strike it argues for could push Iran to finally build the bomb The leak landed hours before the handshake. According to the New York Post, Netanyahu will present Trump with new intelligence alleging Iran is expanding activity at Pickaxe Mountain, with centrifuges said to have been moved into a fortified site near Natanz. Larry Johnson, thirty years across CIA and State, recognized the pipeline immediately: the same sourcing that has promised quick collapses and easy victories since February and delivered neither. His warning points the opposite direction from the briefing books. Five years ago, polling showed most Iranians opposed the bomb, standing behind their leadership's ruling that it was forbidden. The war reversed that. The prevailing view inside Iran now holds that a bomb was the ONE thing that would have kept the attackers away, and every fresh strike on the nuclear program hardens that conclusion instead of shaking it. Which is why one question hangs over tomorrow's meeting: "What do they do a week later when Iran actually detonates the nuke?" A raid can seal a mountain's doors... It cannot reseal a nation's decision. The strike meant to kill the program may be the strike that completes it. SonofNewAmericanRevolution

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The new war's math problem: Iran can strike from a thousand points along its coast... The U.S. operates from roughly ten bases it can't hide. That asymmetry is Larry Johnson's whole read of phase two. Centcom's stated objective is destroying Iran's ability to touch shipping, but the launch sites are endless, rebuildable, and cheap, whack-a-mole with a thousand holes. Iran's return targeting is the opposite: Jordan's two bases, Al Udeid, Al Dhafra, Bahrain, Kuwait, hit them nightly and the American ability to operate degrades with each round. Add the munitions ledger, ATACMS out of production, THAAD interceptors half-spent in the war's first 40 days, Indo-Pacific commanders guarding their own stockpiles, and he thinks Washington runs out of gas first, within a week or two, before the begging for talks resumes. The formal architecture confirmed it's a new war: Trump's notification to Congress restarted the 60-day clock, and Larry flags the next domino, Iran's parliament reconvening amid talk of NPT withdrawal. On Pickax Mountain, Trump's newest named target, his assessment was flat: built to survive a nuclear blast, and a ground assault is a mission you don't come home from. The ledger meanwhile: 80 MILLION barrels shipped out since the MOU, $6 billion minimum, paid in yuan. SonofNewAmericanRevolution
