US President Donald Trump has said Washington has no immediate reason to escalate its war with Iran, while confirming that American forces continue to monitor the country’s nuclear facilities using advanced surveillance capabilities.
In an interview with CBS News, Trump said US bombers had destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities and that the country’s nuclear materials were now buried beneath thousands of tons of rock.
He said Washington was closely monitoring the three nuclear sites previously targeted by US strikes, as well as the underground facility known as Pickaxe Mountain.
Trump said only very limited activity had been detected at Pickaxe Mountain. However, he acknowledged uncertainty over whether nuclear material remained at the site.
