Trump threatens strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, says he has no regrets about war
–
Neutral summary
US President Donald Trump has warned that Washington may strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, where the UN nuclear watchdog has confirmed new construction activity, urging Tehran “not to get cute.” In an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump said he does not believe in the word “regret” and would make the same decisions again if he had to. He reiterated that the war with Iran will end right after the November midterm elections and promised that gasoline prices would then come down. The conflict and rising fuel costs have driven Trump's approval ratings to record lows ahead of the vote.
