US President Donald Trump had hinted at the possibility of targeting "Mount Ma'ol," near Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, considering it a potential target, while the nature of the facilities within the site remains unclear.

The Natanz facility is one of Iran's most prominent nuclear sites and has been the focus of previous disputes between Tehran and Western powers. Trump's statements about targeting 'Mount Ma'ol' indicate the possibility of expanding operations to include nuclear targets, further complicating the situation. These strikes are expected to provoke widespread international reactions.
