US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iran's underground nuclear facility at the Pigeon Mountain soon, while insisting that the US is not interested in negotiating with Iran until Iran is ready for meaningful talks. Trump said Iran wants to negotiate because it is being severely destroyed, but the US will strike the site heavily and Iran cannot stop it. The facility is where centrifuge machines for uranium enrichment are assembled, which Iran reported to the IAEA in 2020. Trump noted that there is no confirmed information on whether Iran has moved the centrifuges in yet. Meanwhile, US Central Command said US forces have struck Iran for the 10th consecutive day through Monday.
