U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that the United States could strike a nuclear facility within Iran, allegedly located near the city of Natanz, beneath the Kolang Qaz-La mountain. The American leader made these remarks during a conversation with reporters at the White House in response to their questions.
According to him, a strike could be carried out "very imminently," especially if something were to happen at that facility. It is noteworthy that in the U.S., the Kolang Qaz-La massif is referred to as Kirka Mountain, and in recent weeks, Trump has issued similar warnings several times without specifying concrete timelines or details of the actions.
At this moment, there has been no official response from Iran, though regional tensions have noticeably increased against the backdrop of such statements.
This announcement is perhaps the toughest in a series of warnings Trump has leveled at Iran in recent weeks, sending a clear signal to both Tehran and his allies. It is important to note, however, that the president has avoided defining the specific conditions under which a strike would become inevitable, leaving a degree of uncertainty—whether intentional or not.
In relations with Iran, such statements are usually accompanied by subsequent diplomatic or intelligence moves; therefore, it is currently crucial to monitor not only the threat itself but also the response, as well as the events that might trigger or prevent military action. Ultimately, in the rhetoric of the Trump administration, this moment appears to emphasize the use of pressure as a tool rather than a final decision.
