Trump Warns Pickaxe Mountain Remains a Strike Target If Iran Acts
⛰️ PICKAXE — Trump just put Iran's hardest target back on the table, publicly. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Naming Pickaxe Mountain isn't strategic ambiguity — it's deliberate signaling to Tehran that CENTCOM's most sensitive target set didn't disappear when talks opened. With Rubio calling Iran's terms "outrageous" and Bessent quietly calling Beijing, Trump is running pressure and diplomacy simultaneously. The threat anchors the ceiling of US force options exactly when Iran is reading whether the deal window is real.
