Israeli Media: US Notifies Israel of Plans to Bomb 'Pickaxe Mountain' with Heavy Bombers Within Days

The United States has informed Israel that it plans to ramp up its strikes against Iran within days, deploying heavy bombers to target Iran's secret nuclear facilities, Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported on the 22nd (local time).

According to the report, US bombers are expected to target the so-called "Pickaxe Mountain," where Iran's underground nuclear facilities are believed to have been constructed.

Pickaxe Mountain is located near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility, and is known to house fortified underground nuclear installations.

Previously, US President Donald Trump stated, "We will be hitting that region very hard in the not-too-distant future," adding, "Any place that they even think about with respect to nuclear, we'll be hitting them very, very hard."

Kan reported that Israel has maintained its highest level of readiness following the US notification.
