Trump says US could quickly address remaining Iranian sites

Trump described ongoing negotiations with Iran, initiated by the US and Israel at the end of February, as “going fine” but expressed concerns about their reliability.

He emphasized that the US is not rushing into further offensive action, citing the substantial damage already inflicted on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure. “We’ve knocked out their nuclear. We still have to take care of, I would say one or two sites, but we can do that in 10 minutes,” Trump told reporters at his Florida residence.

Referring to a suspected underground nuclear complex, he added, “You probably could look at Pickaxe Mountain, and you have to take care of that. We can do that all very quickly.”

The Iranian government has refuted any nuclear activity at that location.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously indicated that President Trump has not yet decided on additional strikes against Iran and remains open to a diplomatic resolution.

Iran’s supreme leader cautioned the United States and Israel against launching new attacks, particularly following threats to resume strikes after elections. Trump has previously suggested the possibility of further military action after US midterms, indicating he was considering whether to “finish them off.”
