# Trump Announces Destruction of Mountain in Iran and Resumption of Naval Blockade

The situation surrounding Iran has sharply escalated following loud statements by US President Donald Trump. The head of the White House announced Pentagon plans to destroy an object in Pickaxe Mountain, where, according to intelligence data, enriched uranium may be stored. Trump also announced a series of new strikes on Tehran, emphasizing that the Iranian army will not be able to resist the operation.

### "Let the Iranians know that we are coming"

In an interview with journalists, the American leader stated: "We are going to destroy Pickaxe Mountain. Let the Iranians know that we are coming. They will not be able to do anything." Trump also promised to launch strikes "already tonight" and "already tomorrow," adding that Iran has "nothing but big mouths".

### Third night of strikes

US Central Command confirmed that the US army has begun the third consecutive night of strikes on Iran by order of the Commander-in-Chief. The statement notes that these attacks will cause significant harm to Iranian forces and worsen their ability to attack civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

### Violation of ceasefire agreement

Despite the framework agreement signed by the parties to cease fire for 60 days, mutual attacks continue. Recently, the US announced strikes on 90 military targets in Iran. Trump also announced the resumption of the naval blockade of Iran. The US plans to take control of the Strait of Hormuz, imposing a 20% duty on all ships.

### Preparation for a prolonged confrontation

According to Axios, the White House is preparing for a prolonged confrontation with Iran. The US administration is considering a scenario in which the exchange of strikes due to the situation around the Strait of Hormuz could last several days or even weeks.
