Donald Trump threatens Iran with new strikes on "one or two sites", including Mount Kolang, near the Natanz nuclear complex

On October 31, President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. had significantly diminished Iran's nuclear capabilities but needed to address one or two sites. The conflict began on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, leading to Iranian retaliation against Gulf allies. A ceasefire was established in April, but tensions escalated over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route. Trump mentioned the need to target the Kolang mountain near Natanz, suggesting a potential military campaign post-midterm elections. Iranian leaders warned of immediate retaliation against further attacks, while diplomatic negotiations continue, with Iran's foreign minister expressing no need for direct talks unless U.S. conditions are met. In Tehran, citizens are divided on the prospect of renewed conflict.
