Trump says activity seen at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, urges Tehran 'not to get cute'
Trump warned Tehran to be cautious as he said the United States may strike a fortified site near Natanz that has two buried tunnel complexes.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned Iran to be cautious regarding activity at Pickaxe Mountain during a speech at the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.

- Rising oil and gas prices from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which began in February, have become a major political issue for Trump and the Republican Party ahead of November midterm elections.
- Trump issued a direct warning, stating, "We notice there's a little activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard."
- The Republican Party faces mounting pressure to manage the escalating war as officials continue monitoring the fortified site, signaling potential military action if provocations persist.
