ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump threatened early Tuesday morning to target Iran's Jabal al-Fass nuclear site, asserting that it is a "potential target for a big and powerful strike."

In an interview, the president said that he is closely monitoring the Jabal al-Fass site in Iran, but claimed to see no activity there. He emphasized that "Iran's nuclear situation is not good, and every time we hear about something, we destroy it."

Trump added, "Tell the Iranians to be ready. We don't see any activity there. They're not doing well with their nuclear situation, and we have eyes watching everything through Space Force and other means."

The U.S. president continued, "We will destroy the nuclear facilities under the mountains in Iran, especially those under Jabal al-Fass. Every time we hear about it, we blow it up. That's why they don't like to talk about it. But we will probably give Pickaxe a hit relatively soon."

The Jabal al-Fass site is located near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility, which suffered extensive damage. It is a heavily fortified site comprising two complexes of deep-buried tunnels, which experts assess are beyond the range of the most powerful bunker-buster bombs in the U.S. arsenal.

When asked whether Washington should topple the Iranian regime in the coming months, he replied, "I think they're a bit crazy, I think they all are."

He further said, "We eliminated the first part of this regime, then the second part, and then we destroyed about 25% of it. They have a different way of thinking."
