Trump says US may strike Iranian nuclear site soon, calls conflict 'small potatoes'

US President Donald Trump said Friday (September 4) that the US military may soon strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified site near Iran's Natanz enrichment facility, while trying to downplay the conflict with Iran as "small potatoes". "We may hit Pickaxe very soon," Trump told reporters at the White House, referring to the underground facility where Washington says Iran has moved some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Meanwhile, Trump tried to downplay the conflict with Iran, arguing that it was not a war. "It's a military conflict, but it's very intermittent," Trump said, though he has repeatedly described the conflict as a "war" while avoiding the term at times.
