Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, President Trump said that the US had Venezuela under control and had essentially brought Iran under control as well.
He also warned that US military operations in the region might not be over. Asked about Iran's nuclear facility at Pickaxe Mountain, President Trump said that the US could strike the site very soon.
Pickaxe Mountain is located near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment complex, which sustained heavy damage in earlier attacks. The area is believed to contain two tunnel systems built deep inside the mountain and is considered one of the most heavily guarded sites associated with Iran’s nuclear program.
The US and Israel have long monitored construction activity in the area, amid concerns that Iran could use the tunnel network to protect nuclear equipment and operations from airstrikes.
