President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S. would ​take out Pickaxe Mountain in Iran, as he ‌warned that Washington would continue to hit the country hard.

"We're going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ​ready," Trump said in an interview on the Hugh ​Hewitt Show.

"We're watching (Pickaxe Mountain) closely. We see no ⁠activity there. They're not doing well with their nuclear ​situation. Every time we hear about it, we blow ​it up. So they don't like talking about it. But we'll probably give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon," Trump said.

Pickaxe Mountain, located ​near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is ​a heavily fortified site that hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes that ‌experts ⁠assess as beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs in the U.S. arsenal.
