U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran's activity at Pickaxe Mountain is "not a big problem" and that he knows exactly what is happening at the potential nuclear site. Speaking before his White House meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump questioned why Netanyahu had raised his concerns publicly rather than telling him directly. The comments contrast with Trump's threat last week to strike the deeply buried complex soon and heavily. Netanyahu is expected to present intelligence about Iranian nuclear activity during the meeting, as the two leaders review Tehran's program and broader regional security.
