Washington (ANTARA) - US President Donald Trump stated on Friday\n(4\/9) that the US military may soon attack Pickaxe Mountain in Iran, a\nfortified location near the Natanz enrichment facility.<\/p>\n
Trump also attempted to downplay the US-Iran conflict, referring to\nit as a \u201csmall matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe may attack Pickaxe soon,\u201d Trump told reporters at the White\nHouse, referring to the underground facility where Iran, according to\nWashington, has moved part of its highly enriched uranium reserves.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Trump attempted to minimise the conflict with Iran,\narguing that the situation does not constitute a war.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a military conflict, but it is not continuous,\u201d Trump said,\nalthough he has repeatedly referred to the conflict as a \u201cwar\u201d while\noccasionally avoiding the term.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call it a military conflict because it is a small matter for us.\nThe conflict is not a big deal,\u201d Trump claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my view, its nature is not continuous. You know, we are indeed\nconducting sporadic attacks,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt is true that we are not\ncurrently fighting. There is no battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
US forces targeted almost 60 Iranian sites around the Strait of\nHormuz this week, including air defence locations, radar systems,\nmine-laying capabilities, and communication facilities, CNN\nreported.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday (1\/9) evening local time, US strikes hit a wedding party\nin the Sirik region of Iran\u2019s Hormozgan Province, killing at least five\npeople and injuring more than 60 others, according to Iranian state\nmedia.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday (2\/9), Trump threatened to launch more attacks against\nIran \u201cwhenever we want.\u201d<\/p>\n
