Iran's Pickaxe Mountain: A Natural Fortress

Iran's Pickaxe Mountain is a geological formation that could complicate efforts to penetrate deeply buried facilities. The mountain range is composed of volcanic rocks that make it difficult to access. US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike the area, saying that the US will hit the area 'very probably pretty soon'. The move has raised concerns about the potential consequences of a US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been monitoring Iran's nuclear activities, but the country has refused to allow inspectors to access the Pickaxe Mountain site.
